Introduction

Cloud Native Service Operations Teams can quickly analyze performance and behavior for complex microservice stacks using Lightstep Telemetry Data (Traces, Metrics & Logs) to reduce outages and increase systems reliability. Understand and resolve complex issues across any number of services and reveal hidden dependencies to help diagnose and pinpoint exactly Where, Why, and How incidents occur.

Dataflow

1. Instrument your services with Open Telemetry. For polyglot applications you can use the respective Open Telemetry SDK’s to instrument your code.

NOTE: For your convenience we have allready instrumented all services for you.

1. Review the instrumentation code and configuration changes and commit your changes to GitHub.

2. Trigger the ADO Pipeline to start the build and deployment of your changes.

3. Services are built and the Docker images are deployed to the Azure Kubernetes environment

4. Use the ServiceNow Lightstep app to examine your Service Directory and start monitoring.

5. Examine your Latency Histograms, review your Service Diagrams and spot long running transactions that are slowing down your system.
