OpenTelemetry OTel is the de facto standard for collecting high-quality telemetry data. With OTel we obtain unified and contextual data that allows us to cross the opacity of distributed systems and gain complete visibility of traceability, metrics, and logs

To diagnose a critical memory leak, it is recommended to instrument the application with the OpenTelemetry SDK, exporting traces to a compatible backend. The traces reveal the components that consume the most memory in each request in real time

In addition, OTel metrics allow monitoring key variables such as memory usage, object count, and garbage collection pressure over extended periods. They can be exported to Grafana, Prometheus, or cloud services AWS and Azure systems to visualize trends and detect anomalies

Structured logs enriched with trace context make it easier to correlate events with memory consumption spikes and isolate the source of the problem. Combining logs, metrics, and traces provides a solid and efficient investigation line

At Q2BSTUDIO we are specialists in custom applications and custom software with experience in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. We offer AWS and Azure cloud services and business intelligence services integrating AI for businesses AI agents and Power BI to drive operational efficiency

If you face performance or memory issues or need to develop custom solutions with cutting-edge technology, contact Q2BSTUDIO and take advantage of the benefits of OpenTelemetry to keep your systems stable and scalable
