Follow every request with OpenTelemetry
ServiceStack v10.3 emits standard OpenTelemetry traces and metrics that follow a request from its API call through outbound HTTP calls, MQ messages and Background Jobs, even across servers, in Jaeger, Grafana Tempo, Honeycomb, Datadog or the .NET Aspire Dashboard
ServiceStack v10.3 introduces integrated support for OpenTelemetry, enabling developers to monitor complex, distributed requests across multiple services and servers.
By emitting standardized traces and metrics, the platform allows for the seamless tracking of an API call as it triggers MQ messages, Background Jobs, and outbound HTTP requests.
This update simplifies debugging by connecting disparate events into a single timeline that can be viewed in popular backends like Jaeger, Grafana, and Datadog. Additionally, an enhanced Profiling UI within the Admin dashboard provides instant visibility into database queries and execution spans without requiring external tools.
The system is designed for high performance, ensuring that metrics and logs remain lightweight while offering deep insights into application health and error rates. Developers can easily integrate these features into .NET 8+ applications to gain a unified perspective on their system's internal operations.
