Summary

Developers are expensive to hire and retain, and minimizing bug fixes can help reduce new feature backlogs and keep developers happy. Improving code quality and speeding up debugging are two strategies that can be used together to achieve this goal. Modern applications involve complex interactions between containerized and serverless components, making complete end-to-end visibility crucial for testing and identifying issues. OpenTelemetry tracing provides a method for tracking transactions across application components, enabling developers to diagnose performance issues and identify bottlenecks. Lumigo offers automatic instrumentation for OpenTelemetry, simplifying the adoption of tracing and reducing developer work, while its visualization tool provides detailed information about problematic requests, including start time, duration, HTTP method and status, log entries, execution tags, environment variables, payload, and related issues. By adopting OpenTelemetry with Lumigo, organizations can reduce their new feature backlogs and keep developers happy.
