OpenTelemetry in Practice: The Complete Observability Course

О курсе

Build production-ready observability using OpenTelemetry and a modern stack. Progress from fundamentals to full instrumentation and Kubernetes deployment through guided labs and real-world workflows. This course begins by establishing a strong foundation in observability, introducing metrics, logs, and traces along with service level objectives and error budgets. You will explore how modern systems are monitored and how different telemetry signals combine to provide deep insights into application behavior and performance. The journey then moves into building a complete observability stack using Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, and Grafana. Through guided labs, you will configure, deploy, and validate each component while integrating them into a unified system. You will also gain practical experience with OpenTelemetry fundamentals, including APIs, SDKs, collectors, and semantic conventions. As you progress, the focus shifts to real-world instrumentation of applications. You will implement metrics, traces, and logs using both automatic and manual techniques, understand context propagation, and apply advanced patterns. The course culminates in deploying everything to Kubernetes, verifying telemetry pipelines, and troubleshooting distributed systems in a production-like environment. This course is designed for software engineers, DevOps professionals, and platform engineers who want to implement observability in modern distributed systems. It is ideal for learners with prior experience in Docker, Kubernetes, and application development, as well as those familiar with command line workflows and version control systems. The course follows a hands-on, lab-driven approach that mirrors real-world implementation workflows across each stage. It starts with foundational concepts, then incrementally builds a complete observability stack with guided exercises. Learners continuously validate their setup through practical scenarios, reinforcing both theory and application.
