Leveraging OpenTelemetry to Fix Flaky Integration Tests

At Lumigo, we heavily depend on a set of tests to deploy code changes fast. For every pull request opened, we bootstrap our whole application backend and run a set of async parallel checks mimicking users’ use cases. We call them integration tests. These integration tests are how we ensure: Recently, we changed our old “traditional log traversing” of integration tests into *amazing* OpenTelemetry traces graphs.
