Faster Code Feedback Loops With OpenTelemetry Using Digma Continuous Feedback

Explore the concept of continuous feedback in software development through this comprehensive webinar. Learn how to shorten feedback loops and improve code quality using OpenTelemetry data and the Digma Continuous Feedback plugin for JetBrains IDEs. Discover practical examples of detecting issues like excessive API calls and N+1 queries, and understand how to analyze load testing results. Gain insights into making informed design decisions, integrating with various tools, and implementing continuous feedback throughout the development cycle. The webinar also addresses questions about plugin performance, language support, and integration with other development tools and practices.
