Episode notes

Historically, the generation of various types of telemetry data, including infrastructure, database, and back-end telemetry, has been inconsistent and disjointed, making it challenging to correlate issues across different systems. This disconnect complicates the ability to determine whether performance problems originate from the front-end or back-end. Open telemetry addresses these challenges by providing a standardized collection of APIs, SDKs, and tools for instrumenting, generating, collecting, and exporting telemetry data. This approach enables a more cohesive analysis of system performance and behavior, facilitating better diagnostic capabilities.

One of the fastest areas of growth in observability is frontend observability, or real user monitoring. This is the practice of monitoring and analyzing the performance, behavior, and user experience of web applications from the user’s perspective.

Purvi Kanal is a Senior Software Engineer at Honeycomb. She joins the podcast to talk about the evolution and status of real user monitoring.

This episode is hosted by Lee Atchison. Lee Atchison is a software architect, author, and thought leader on cloud computing and application modernization.
