OpenTelemetry

Cloud & DevOps

Vendor-neutral traces, metrics, logs

Official documentation (opens in a new tab)

Overview

OpenTelemetry is required in our Factory stack. Templates instrument ASP.NET Core, HTTP, gRPC, Redis, Hangfire, and runtime metrics, exporting to Azure Monitor or OTLP collectors.

Microsoft Azure is our primary cloud: Factory templates deploy to App Service, AKS, Container Apps, and managed data services with Bicep or Pulumi, Azure DevOps pipelines, and Application Insights baked in from day one.

When engagements require hybrid or multi-cloud tooling, we adopt it with explicit landing zones, least-privilege identities, and runbooks—while keeping Azure the anchor for ConnectSoft-generated platforms.

From first commit to production dashboards, our DevOps path favors repeatable infrastructure, managed identities, and measurable SLOs—so releases stay boring in the best way.

Why we use it:

  • Non-negotiable in ConnectSoft architecture guidelines
  • Consistent across microservices and SaaS repos
  • Pairs with Serilog for logs and App Insights for Azure
  • Future-proof vendor-neutral telemetry
  • Infrastructure as code with environment-specific parameters
  • Managed identities and private networking in production paths
  • Integrated CI/CD through Azure DevOps and quality gates
