Observability in serverless environments can be challenging, but AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) simplifies this by providing a standardized, vendor-neutral way to collect and export telemetry. ADOT allows you to leverage industry-standard OpenTelemetry APIs to instrument your applications without being locked into a single observability backend. The challenge with containerized Lambdas is that they do not support standard Lambda Layers. Since ADOT is typically deployed as a layer for Lambda functions, we need an alternative way to get the telemetry agent into our execution environment.

Centreon has introduced an open-source agent that combines IT and operational technology monitoring with OpenTelemetry support, aiming to provide unified observability for IT teams.

Ten months after the release of MicroProfile 7.0, the MicroProfile Working Group has released version 7.1 of MicroProfile to the Java community.

"Ampere gave us a leg up to understand how to best instrument the code, and run it in that setup," remarked Antoine Toulmé, who maintains the OpenTelemetry Collector project while serving as a senior engineering manager at Splunk.

Memory leaks are silent killers in distributed systems, gradually consuming memory until performance degrades significantly and services crash.
