Getting Started with OpenTelemetry Visualization - A Practical Guide

OpenTelemetry is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation(CNCF) project aimed at standardizing the way we instrument applications for generating telemetry data(logs, metrics, and traces). However, OpenTelemetry does not provide storage and visualization for the collected telemetry data. For OpenTelemetry visualization, you need to use a backend that can ingest the collected data and provide a web UI to visualize it.

Mastering NodeJS Performance Monitoring - A Practical Guide using Open Source Tools

Node.js is one of the most popular frameworks for server-side programming. As it's based on JavaScript, it's easy to learn and widely used by both enterprises and startups. However, Node.js applications can be prone to issues like memory leaks and high CPU loads due to its dynamically typed, single-threaded nature. This makes performance monitoring crucial for Node.js applications.
