Cloud-Native Observability with OpenTelemetry

Alex Boten is a senior staff software engineer that has spent the last ten years helping organizations adapt to a cloud-native landscape. From building core network infrastructure to client mobile applications and everything in between, Alex has first-hand knowledge of how difficult troubleshooting distributed applications is. This led him to the domain of observability and to contributing to related open source projects. An approver and maintainer in several OpenTelemetry projects, Alex has helped implement and evolve the project from its early days in 2019 into the massive community effort that it is today. Alex has contributed to the Python and Go OpenTelemetry implementations, as well as to the specification and the collector projects. More than anything, Alex by codeboten on Twitter loves making sense of the technology around us and sharing his learnings with others.
