Marcin GrzejszczakHey 👋 Quick question... What does #observability mean to you and what do you need it for? 🤔
Deven Phillips@toomuchcoding Observability allows me to figure out which components of my code/services a request flows through and how long is spends in each of those places. It helps me to find bottlenecks and problems which might otherwise be difficult to track down. Additionally, when done correctly, it is fully useful in production as well as dev/QA.
@infosec812 Thanks! What tools are you using to do all of these and what do you think they are missing? In #MicrometerIO we are doing release planning and we're open to new ideas so we're trying to talk to the community to gather more feedback
@toomuchcoding As a consultant, I use whatever the customer tells me to use. When they ask me for a recommendation, I usually go with Prometheus+Jaeger+Graphana paired with Micrometer for instrumentation where necessary.
@infosec812 Is there anything that you find missing at this point? That adding this "thing" would improve your job?
@toomuchcoding When using CDI in JavaEE/MicroProfile/Quarkus, I wish I could just annotate any arbitrary method to create a new span. It looks like it's supposed to work, but I have had some issues.
Probably has nothing to do with Micrometer though...
