Review on opentelemetry and HTTP implementation

Abstract

Cloud-native is a strategy for developing and running applications that take advantage of the benefits of the cloud computing model. Companies building and operating applications by using a cloud-native architecture bring fresh ideas to the market faster and address customer demands more quickly. In the face of failures and extremely unpredictable demand, today's cloud-native application ecosystem is becoming highly dispersed, diversified, and complicated, making it impossible to forecast its behaviour. Observability is growing rapidly as a critical skill for monitoring and managing cloud-native applications in order to assure client satisfaction. Cloud-native Computing Foundation (CNCF) has introduced OpenTelemetry as its incubating project, which is an observability framework for cloud-native software. OpenTelemetry, which is an open-source framework for distributed tracing, has emerged as the industry's leading standard for distributed tracing. This paper focuses on providing a systematic literature review of various services provided by OpenTelemetry.
