Why Does Continuous Profiling Matter to Developers?

OpenTelemetry has gained momentum in the observability space, with a wide range of vendors supporting the specification. In this presentation, we will look into how developers can benefit from having a clear observability strategy by also adding continuous profiling to the mix. Setting up and understanding distributed application traces and profiling information used to be a complex task, usually left for critical situations where things go wrong.

Join us on a journey to combine traces and profiling data to understand how our applications perform and where the bottlenecks are. In this presentation, you will learn about:

- How Otel and profiling can work together

- Advantages of continuous profiling

- How to set up an observability stack that works for your developers.
