Talk title and abstract (description)

Intro to OpenTelemetry

When something goes wrong in production - it can be really tricky to figure out what actually went wrong. Was it user error? Bad input? Infra issues?

OpenTelemetry is a fast-growing CNCF project that makes it easier than ever to instrument your code to tell you what is going wrong in production, providing a set of SDKs to easily collect logs, metrics, traces and more to pin point what went wrong in production.

In this talk we'll quickly go over why debugging production is challenging, how OpenTelemetry can help, and how easy it is to get set up for any JS project.
