- OpenTelemetry Tracing on the JVM
-
In this post, I want to compare the different zero-code OpenTelemetry approaches on the JVM, covering the most widespread:
- Spring Boot with Micrometer Tracing
- Spring Boot with the OpenTelemetry Agent
- OpenTelemetry Spring Boot Starter
- Quarkus
- Quarkus with the OpenTelemetry Agent
- Don’t fall into the anti-AI hype
-
I must admit I have been guilty of this one. Good and sane arguments.
- Headscale
-
I wrote about how I migrated from Cloudflare to Tailscale. On Reddit, some mentioned that networking is too important to delegate it to a third-party. I hear them: Headscale is the solution.
Headscale is an open source, self-hosted implementation of the Tailscale control server.

I’m working in Java at the moment, and I do miss
Either. Kotlin proper hasResult, but only the right type is generic. Arrow not only has a solidEithertype, but also a DSL to make your life easier using it. - EU Cloud Cost

The post is an analysis of the Twitter thread:

No, I won’t ever code again in Clojure.
- Demystifying OpenTelemetry: Why You Shouldn’t Fear Observability in Traditional Environments
-
- Myth 1: Our systems just generate a bunch of useless logs – there’s no way observability can be done here.
- Myth 2: Our IoT devices publish telemetry to MQTT broker, so integrating with OpenTelemetry isn’t possible.
- Myth 3: Windows and SQL Server environments are incompatible with observability.

Last week, I mentioned Codeberg. The above is a in-depth post about it.

I feel there has been some pushback against cargo culting approaches for a couple of years. Is it finally time to kill the sacred cows?
- JVM Rainbow
-
Using Java, Scala, Kotlin, Clojure and Groovy.
This projects demonstrates the possibility of writing and using multiple JVM languages in a single project and single root package with Maven. It serves to help others to easily configure their project if they need a subset or the whole configuration.

Just after I read about Arrow’s
Either, I stumble on a post about it.
