How to use the Grafana Faro Web SDK with Grafana Cloud Frontend Observability to gain additional app insights

Frontend observability (or real user monitoring) is a critical, yet often overlooked, part of systems monitoring. Website and mobile app frontends are just as complex, if not more so, than the backend systems observability teams typically prioritize. They also represent the first interaction users have with our applications — so it’s important to have full visibility into that experience.

Simplify observability with the Grafana OpenTelemetry Starter and Spring Boot 3

To help simplify instrumenting Spring Boot applications with Grafana Cloud, we are excited to introduce the Grafana OpenTelemetry Starter, a project that connects the latest Micrometer enhancements from Spring Boot 3 with Grafana Cloud using OpenTelemetry. By using these tools, you will have logs, metrics, and traces in a single service — in the same easy way that you can use Prometheus with Spring Boot.

But what makes an open source community successful, exactly? And how do you build and nurture one?
