Lightstep’s OpenTelemetry Launchers Simplify Integration to Line of CodeCategory: Data
Lightstep has released the first four of its OpenTelemetry Launchers, starting with Go, Python, Node, and Java, which the company claims “make it possible for engineers to understand complex systems in minutes, with a single line of code.” People buying those tools put in a bunch of work and that locks them in, in a lot of ways.
OpenTelemetry is an evolution of that process, where that extraction of the performance data becomes an open source tool,” said Spoonhower.
Not only does OpenTelemetry require a certain level of expertise and familiarity, but so does each vendor you might connect it to, and Lightstep is essentially making that process as easy as possible for its own users, but Spoonhower says the launchers are a step toward making OpenTelemetry more accessible overall.
We’re still going to help you think about OpenTelemetry and how to do it, and launchers are another piece of that.”
