Using OpenTelemetry to Diagnose a Critical Memory Leak | HackerNoon
"Memory leaks are silent killers in distributed systems, gradually consuming memory until performance degrades significantly and services crash."
"OpenTelemetry provides a unified approach to collect telemetry data that helps diagnose complex issues like memory leaks in microservices."
Memory leaks represent a persistent issue in modern distributed systems, gradually degrading performance and causing critical failures, such as Out-Of-Memory errors. These leaks are particularly problematic in complex microservices architectures. OpenTelemetry serves as a vital tool for DevOps professionals, providing a standardized, vendor-agnostic framework for gathering telemetry data across services. By enabling deeper visibility and contextual understanding of applications, OpenTelemetry facilitates identifying seemingly invisible memory leaks, leading to more effective troubleshooting and system reliability improvements.
