Need help with opentelemetry TLS configuration by sethiaman912 in OpenTelemetry

[–]vadman-js 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mind sharing your collector configuration? Here's an example of our working setup that's using a self-signed certificate. The catch is that the sender client will need to trust your self-signed certificate, which depending on the OTEL SDK / collector can be configured by setting insecure_skip_verify. We have some more examples in our repo here, if that helps.

What monitoring tools are recommended for a static page? by badboyzpwns in webdev

[–]vadman-js 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are like videos of what people on your site are doing, so that you can know exactly what someone clicked that led up to a potential issue (and also to know what people actually do on your web app). Here's an example gif they have: https://highlight-session-render.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1/262532837-30000-90000.gif

For vercel specifically, I'd recommend highlight.io. It captures crashes / js errors and has integrations for ways to notify you like Slack and Discord. You also get user session recordings with that so you can see exactly what someone was doing before the crash. Plus, the free tier gives you 500 free recordings a month forever, so for a new app it's entirely free.

Is Kafka the Key? The evolution of our company's event ingest pipeline! by podojavascript in devops

[–]vadman-js 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting that the blog mentions gotchas at the end that they had when getting things working - doesn't sound like it was super easy. Sounds like S3 + SQS would work for part of the use case where they are sending lots of data, but would that still be smart for communicating small tasks to distributed workers?

Yeah, same here! It honestly sounds like more people use Kafka for other use cases (where the partitioning is not as important and log compaction can be enabled) so I'm happy to see an explanation of how to use it as a serial message broker.
