I’m coming up on about a year of full-time NodeJS work, and it’s only now that I’m starting to understand the true nature of NPM’s dependency management. When I’ve used other systems, (primarily composer), “management” of those dependencies meant your package manager will yell as you if [...]

Earlier posts include What is a Zipkin Trace?, Instrumenting Traces with Zipkin, and Tracing NodeJS Services with Open Telemetry. This is the most recent post in the series. In our previous OpenTelemetry articles, we gave a broad “hello [...]

Later posts include Tracing NodeJS Services with Open Telemetry, and OpenTelemetry's NPM Packages. Last time we ran a small, three service pre-instrumented system that reported spans into Zipkin. In this [...]
