Monitor HAProxy Metrics and Logs with OpenTelemetry [Step By Step Guide]

For extremely high throughput web applications, it is important to load balance the traffic across multiple servers. However, load balancing the traffic alone is not enough at times. The reverse proxy server that handles the workload needs to be performant, too. In our previous article, we discussed the NGINX reverse proxy server and understood how to monitor it. In this article, we set up monitoring for an even more performant reverse proxy server - HAProxy.

Is your Java Observability tool Lambda Expressions aware?

Most SREs and IT Ops manage Java applications without source code access or communication with AppDev teams. When applications have performance issues those SREs or IT Ops teams deploying and maintaining the infrastructure often have to prove that it is the application at fault and supply information to the app supplier which provides evidence of the issue.

OpenTelemetry vs Jaeger : Comparing Apple and Oranges

Open telemetry works with all the three signals i.e. it help in generating all the three signals while Jaeger only focuses on one signal (traces). The second key difference is Jaeger doesn't worry about generating data. It's more focused on the UI visualization long term storage of traces data while OpenTelemetry primarily focused on generating traces data.

Symbolicating stack traces from Apple system libraries

In the world of software development, quickly finding and fixing errors drives better experiences for both end-users and developers. One key tool in this process is the symbol map, which records debugging information that was lost in the compilation process. Symbol maps (or source maps if we're talking JavaScript) connect the code developers write to the minified code in production, making it easier to decipher crashes by pinpointing the exact source code that caused the error.
