What is the hidden potential of OpenTelemetry? It goes a lot further than the (awesome) application of tracing and monitoring your software. The OpenTelemetry project is an attempt to standardize how performance is reported and how trace data is passed around your microservice architecture. This context propagation is a superpower for those who adopt OpenTelemetry tracing. Tracetest promises to make this deep tracing a huge new asset in your testing landscape, and SigNoz helps all engineers get insight into what OpenTelemetry can see.

gRPC (Google Remote Procedure Call) is a high-performance, open-source universal RPC  framework that Google developed to achieve high-speed communication between microservices. gRPC has Protobuf (protocol buffers) by default which would format or serialize the messages to a specific format that will be highly packed, highly efficient data. By its virtue of being a lightweight RPC, gRPC is suited for many use-cases.

In the classic definition, Observability is something one step beyond monitoring; it’s how easy our system is to understand with the architecture and monitoring we have. The problem is a familiar one: we have monitoring tools but they’re not answering our question. This article shows how a Python developer can go from having traces but not answers, to fully understanding the root cause of a latency issue.
