Introducing OpenTelemetry-Native Application Performance Management
Blog post from Observe
Observe has launched the general availability of its Application Performance Management (APM) solution, which includes features like Service Explorer and Trace Explorer to enhance service performance management and troubleshooting. Service Explorer provides comprehensive visual tools and dashboards to manage microservices, while Trace Explorer offers an interactive flame chart for detailed trace analysis. The APM platform is OpenTelemetry-native, enabling seamless integration without additional configuration for services already using OpenTelemetry, and it provides automated RED metrics and service health views. Additionally, the platform includes SLO Management for aligning observability practices with service reliability goals, offering automated metrics, intuitive SLO setup, and alerting features to help teams maintain reliability and improve user experiences. The Observe Agent collects OpenTelemetry metrics, traces, and logs, promoting openness and avoiding vendor lock-in. Currently, Service Explorer and Trace Explorer are available, while SLO management is in private preview, with a free trial offered for new users to explore its capabilities.
