Adaptation ideas

What to apply to your own product

  1. Idea: provide opinionated dashboards and alerts for a single runtime platform.
  2. Idea: add a guided instrumentation wizard that verifies telemetry end to end.

Tradeoff to consider

Consolidated telemetry improves correlation, but collecting and retaining traces, metrics, and logs has storage and instrumentation cost.

Starting route

Deploy the recommended quick start and instrument one service with OpenTelemetry.
