Once there was a time when Barcode was the only option for asset tracking but now as the technology has evolved so much there are several asset tracking technologies available. Now the client wants only the best, here RFID comes into play. RFID has acquired a big market and lots of business verticals use this technology. Several other organizations are thinking of using RFID technology.
OpenTelemetry (OTel) is an open-source observability framework that provides a standardized way of collecting, processing, and exporting telemetry data (metrics, traces, and logs) from distributed systems. It was born by a merger between two previously separate observability projects, OpenCensus and OpenTracing, and it is currently maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).

I feel that for MSPs they are one of our greatest retention tools, and clearly demonstrate the value we provide.
Modern applications running on distributed systems often complicate service ownership because of their ever-growing web of microservice dependencies. This complication challenges engineers’ ability to shepherd their software through every stage of the development life cycle, as well as teams’ ability to train new engineers on the application’s architecture. With increased complexity, clarity is key for quick, effective troubleshooting and delivering value to end users.
