Lightstep announced OpenTelemetry Launchers which make it possible for engineers to understand complex systems in minutes, with a single line of code.
OpenTelemetry is the vendor-neutral open source project that is setting the standard for how engineering teams go about capturing complex system data.
The new OpenTelemetry Launchers connect that data with Lightstep for unprecedented observability and actionable insights.
“We understand that not every organization is Google, and that distributed tracing used to be a cumbersome integration for many engineering teams – that’s why it’s been a top priority for us to simplify things as much as possible,” said Ben Sigelman, CEO and Co-Founder of Lightstep. “We’ve been working hard alongside Google, Microsoft, Splunk, and other great companies to set the standard for how to collect data from distributed systems with the OpenTelemetry project. And with our new OpenTelemetry Launchers, anyone can gather and gain insight from that data with only one line of code.”
OpenTelemetry’s top contributors include Google, Microsoft, Lightstep, Splunk, Uber, New Relic, Honeycomb and others. It comes with built-in, high-quality instrumentation for dozens of popular libraries in each language, out of the box. This makes it possible to get up and running with distributed tracing in minutes when connecting with Lightstep’s OpenTelemetry Launchers, enabling engineers to gain immediate, accessible end-to-end visibility into distributed services and their dependencies.
