Importance of Telemetry and Open Telemetry in Cloud Environments

The chapter emphasizes the challenges faced in estimating feature impact and resource consumption without proper telemetry, highlighting the significance of using open telemetry for understanding feature usage and system impact in cloud environments. It discusses the benefits of open telemetry in simplifying instrumentation and enhancing adoption, particularly in cloud-native applications. The conversation also touches on the evolution of development tools towards cloud-native solutions, the challenges of debugging in distributed systems, and the importance of applying constraints to data for effective analysis.
