The Talk discusses the difference between monitoring and observability, highlighting the focus of OpenTelemetry on generating and processing data. It explores the concept of traces and span IDs in distributed tracing and the experimental nature of OpenTelemetry in the browser. The Talk also touches on the complexities of React with server components and demonstrates how distributed tracing can connect traces for different services. The process of adding OpenTelemetry to Next.js and analyzing application and browser traces is explained, along with the importance of context propagation. The Talk concludes with insights on analyzing fetch calls, errors, and the storage limitations of traces.

This talk will guide you through the integration of OpenTelemetry within React environments, emphasizing Server Side Rendering (SSR) and the innovative React Server Components (RSC). Learn how to harness the power of telemetry data—traces, metrics, and logs—to gain a comprehensive understanding of your application's behavior and user interactions.

Distributed tracing is a powerful technique for tracking requests and operations in a system, especially in full stack and microservice applications. The reinvention of distributed tracing introduces the concept of a trace and spans to capture debugging data. Enhancements include tags and a status field for better analysis, and the distribution of traces using a trace context for continued tracing.

Distributed tracing is a powerful technique that allows you to track the flow and timing of requests as they navigate through a system. By linking operations and requests between multiple services, distributed tracing provides valuable insights into app performance and helps identify bottlenecks. In this talk Lazar will explain the concept of Distributed Tracing by walking you through how monitoring tools build tracing solutions.

Grafana uses React to power its open source platform, leveraging its vast ecosystem, improved performance, and community contributions. The choice of state management tool depends on the team's problem space. React Hooks have posed challenges but have also been a powerful tool for developers. The new Scenes library simplifies development and reduces the learning curve. Despite challenges, React remains a powerful tool for complex frontends, and Grafana will continue to use it.

Why does Grafana use React for its frontend? How we leverage React’s features at Grafana What are some pain points we have ran into with using React at Grafana What are lessons learned from adopting React for the past 5+ years?
