AppSignal has added native support for OpenTelemetry, facilitating application performance monitoring. This implementation allows DevOps teams to collect telemetry data from applications like Go, Java, PHP, Ruby, Elixir, and Node.js with minimal setup. The streamlined process mitigates previous challenges in instrumentation, encouraging broader application coverage. As application deployment accelerates, particularly with advancements in AI coding, having the capability to collect telemetry data becomes essential for IT organizations to manage potential issues more effectively.
The implementation of OpenTelemetry is designed to enable DevOps teams with a simple line of code to begin collecting telemetry data from multiple applications that yield actionable insights in less than five minutes.
Historically, one of the major challenges with instrumenting applications was adding the ability to actually collect telemetry data, leading organizations to limit the number of applications instrumented.
Having the capability to collect telemetry will become critical as the pace of application building and deployment accelerates, especially with the rise of AI in coding.
Much of the code generated by AI tools is overly verbose, increasing the likelihood of performance or cybersecurity issues that IT teams must address.
