Monitor gRPC calls with OpenTelemetry - explained with a Golang example

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. gRPC can be considered a successor to RPC, which is light in weight.

5 ELK Stack Pros and Cons

Is your organization currently relying on an ELK cluster for log analytics in the cloud? While the ELK stack delivers on its major promises, it isn't the only search and analytics engine - and may not even be your best option for log management. As cloud data volumes grow, ELK monitoring can become too costly and complex to manage. Fast-growing organizations should consider innovative alternatives offering better performance at scale, superior cost economics, reduced complexity and enhanced data access in the cloud.

Implementing OpenTelemetry in a Gin application

OpenTelemetry can be used to trace Gin applications for performance issues and bugs. OpenTelemetry is an open-source project under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) that aims to standardize the generation and collection of telemetry data like logs, metrics, and traces. Gin is an HTTP web framework written in Go (Golang). It features a Martini-like API with much better performance -- up to 40 times faster. If you need smashing performance, get yourself some Gin!

Monitoring to Ensure Optimal Developer Experience and Productivity

For Software Houses, developers are as important as customers are to a retail organization – if the Developer Experience (DX / DevExp / DevEx) is poor, then work simply will not get done effectively and the best and the brightest are likely to leave for an employer who offers a better experience and hence, more productivity and job satisfaction. Long-term frustrated employees and staff attrition tend to impact product quality and lead to weaker software applications.
