OpenTelemetry Instrumentation Best Practices for Microservices Observability

OpenTelemetry instrumentation is the foundation of modern microservices observability, but getting it right in production requires more than just enabling auto-instrumentation. This guide covers production-tested OpenTelemetry best practices that help engineering teams achieve reliable distributed tracing, control observability costs, and extract maximum value from their telemetry data.

How to Implement Distributed Tracing in Microservices with OpenTelemetry Auto-Instrumentation

This guide shows you how to implement OpenTelemetry’s auto-instrumentation for complete distributed tracing across your microservices, from initial setup through production optimization and troubleshooting.

Tool Consolidation Is Dead. Long Live Agentic AI.

It’s 2026, and developers have more tools at their disposal than at any point in the industry’s history: CI/CD platforms are richer; observability stacks are deeper; security, data, and AI tooling have exploded into crowded, competitive ecosystems. And yet, delivery is still slow, incidents are still noisy, workflows are still brittle. The problem is no longer tool scarcity or feature depth. It’s integration debt.

How does Coralogix go beyond basic migration?

When a team, division or organization is assessing a new vendor, there are some basic questions that must be answered. At Coralogix, we look at migrations in a different way. It isn’t about transporting the current state of play into a new vendor, often called a “lift and shift”. These are the basics. There is a whole new level of onboarding and support that doesn’t just replicate value across platforms – it expands it.

Observability vs Monitoring: Getting a Full Picture of the Environment

Driving down the highway, you usually glance intermittently at your speedometer to ensure that you stay within the speed limit, or whatever window above the speed limit you’re willing to drive. While monitoring your speed mitigates the risk of a ticket, you still need to look out for various threats on the road, like cars going through stop signs. By observing your surroundings, you take in real-time information that can help prevent a crash.

3 Ways to Break Down SaaS Data Silos

Access to data is critical for SaaS companies to understand the state of their applications, and how that state affects customer experience. However, most companies use multiple applications, all of which generate their own independent data. This leads to data silos, or a group of raw data that is accessible to one stakeholder or department and not another. Data silos also prevent information from different sources from being blended together to gain a more accurate picture of what's happening in your application.
