From Black Box to Open Book: Leveraging OpenTelemetry for Auto-Documenting Distributed Systems
2025-03-31 , The Nash

Engineering teams need more than just metrics and logs—or even worse, static diagrams and outdated docs—they need a clear, real-time understanding of their systems.

This session explores the concept of "Observability 2.0" tools, highlighting how OpenTelemetry can also be used to proactively support teams throughout the software development lifecycle by automating system documentation and enhancing debugging.

Attendees will gain actionable insights on how to use distributed traces to generate accurate, dynamic system views, empowering them to navigate and manage the complexities of modern distributed architectures effectively.
