Using OpenTelemetry is a perfect choice for getting in-depth visibility of what's going on under the hood inside CI/CD pipeline toolchains during a software build or a release. With Instana as fully-fledged OpenTelemetry back-end, users can conveniently view and analyze both the build/delivery stages and the operational application performance within a single UI - a practical aspect towards fulfillment of the DevOps principles in an organization.
As the first part of the planned CI/CD obeservability demo series, take a look at how OpenTelemetry and Instana are used to monitor Jenkins and Maven Pipelines.
