How Middleware Makes OpenTelemetry-Based Observability Setup Faster – Part 1
TL;DR OpenTelemetry is the default choice for observability, but getting it fully configured across a real infrastructure can take two to three sprints. Middleware’s auto-discovery agent detects every application and database running across your entire host fleet in minutes no manual inventory. Zero-code instrumentation lets you instrument selected services without touching your codebase, using a…
