Stop guessing in production: Full fidelity tracing at scale with ClickHouse and Odigos

Outages in software systems often originate in observability gaps, where missing spans and broken traces leave engineers guessing about failures, even in systems that seem fully instrumented. While modern observability tools generate vast amounts of data, this doesn't necessarily translate into better insights without complete coverage and contextual understanding. The combination of ClickStack, a ClickHouse-native observability backend, and Odigos, a zero-code OpenTelemetry instrumentation platform, addresses these challenges by offering high-quality telemetry capture across distributed systems. Odigos employs eBPF for dynamic, non-intrusive instrumentation, automatically generating comprehensive traces, including application-specific metadata and asynchronous messaging flows, without modifying application code. ClickStack complements this by providing a scalable backend for ingesting and querying this enriched telemetry, enabling engineers to efficiently identify issues by offering a complete, context-rich view of system behavior. Together, these tools transform observability into a precise, data-driven process, eliminating guesswork and enhancing system reliability.
