Tracing Adventures from Pull Request to Production in a Cloud Native World

Many things can go awry on the journey from pull request (PR) open to merge to production deployment. Issues can arise from the application code, layers of YAML configuration, underlying infrastructure or pipeline logic itself. How can distributed tracing and trace-derived metrics bring developers and operators together for troubleshooting paradise? I’ll unpack a deploy gone bad from both vantage points, gaining an empathy for the engineer who needs to deploy their changes and an ops engineer who is responsible for keeping the system up and running. With signals from OpenTelemetry I will show how increasing the observability of your deploy system can facilitate better collaboration and quicker troubleshooting.
