Great talk... but. Looking at the repo it is insane the amount of code you need to write just to instrument two services. Just image a project with 100 services and 200 REST endpoints! At some point you are just going to abandon it as you will not have enough time from the project owner/bean-counters to implement all of that.... Sorry - just an observation from the floor.
Could you please elaborate what you mean by insane amount of code? Spring components (e.g.: controllers/endpoints that you are referring to) are auto-instrumented out of the box, you don't need to write any code, you need to include dependencies (e.g.: actuator). If you want to do customizations for a lot of apps, you should not do it one by one but through a common module you include in each of them (this is not observability-related though). Some of the customizations (code) in the repo is only there for demo purposes, their purpose is to show an example (if you need to use them, there's how). There are users with thousands of applications who are using this. Please also feel free to open an issue in the repo if you have questions/improvement ideas.
The presentation was amazing!
Superbe présentation
Thank you for the great video!
