Node.js applications are fast becoming more frequent and complex through Kubernetes deployments. With that being said, developers are more concerned about generating useful logs, gathering metrics, and thus maintaining the application with precise data about the performance baseline.

Therefore, to help developers enhance this instrumenting approach, the OpenTelemetry project leverages analytical capabilities by expanding the possibilities to collect and export telemetry data from Node.js applications.

In this talk, I will share an easy way how the audience can achieve the auto-instrumenting of a Node.js application using the OpenTelemetry Operator.
