In this workshop, we'll build an application that embodies the good practices we recommend in OpenTelemetry, and look at how those translate into good observability practices when looking at production applications.

We'll include

• Getting started, through to telemetry curation
• Observing Event Driven Architectures (RabbitMQ, Azure ServiceBus, Kafka)
• Traces vs Logs
• Metrics and when to use them
• Local Visualisation techniques using .NET Aspire
• OpenTelemetry Collector's and where they fit
• Naming consistency through OpenTelemetry Weaver

You'll come away with a deep understanding of why Observability is important, how it's changed, and why it's now part of your job not simply an "Ops problem".
