The final stretch: Production-Grade Observability.

Building a traces/metrics system is one thing; running it at scale without burning your budget is another. This module covers the advanced architecture needed for real-world traffic.

We will cover:

  • The OTel Collector: Deploying and configuring a central telemetry hub.
  • Sampling: How to decide which traces to keep (and which to drop) to save money and CPU.
  • Backends: Connecting to tools like Jaeger, Prometheus, and Grafana for visualization.
