Observability in Java: Getting Started with OpenTelemetry

Our software is more complex than ever: applications must be reliable, predictable, and easy to use to meet modern expectations. As developers, this means our responsibilities have grown while the things we can control have stayed the same. In order to better understand our systems and create truly modern software, we need observability.
This workshop will walk through what observability means for Java developers and how to achieve it in our systems with the least amount of work using the open source observability project OpenTelemetry.
