Monitoring Kafka-Based Applications Using Distributed Tracing with OpenTelemetry

Description

By leveraging tools like Jaeger and New Relic, we will uncover how to gain a full view of your microservices, even in the face of Apache Kafka's asynchronous nature. Join us for a live demo with a simple Java Spring-Boot app, where we will walk through both automatic and manual instrumentation to capture rich telemetry. We will also touch on infrastructure-level observability, pulling metrics and traces from Apache Kafka brokers and Apache Flink.
