OpenTelemetry in Practice - Definitive Reference for Developers and Engineers

Richard Johnson

Summary

"OpenTelemetry in Practice"OpenTelemetry in Practice offers a comprehensive, hands-on exploration of modern observability through the OpenTelemetry project, the vendor-neutral standard powering trace, metric, and log telemetry across today’s distributed systems. Beginning with a robust foundation, the book journeys through the history, architecture, and multi-language ecosystem of OpenTelemetry, unpacking its critical role within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and its seamless integration into cloud-native workflows. Readers will discover not only the core components—including APIs, SDKs, and the powerful Collector—but also how OpenTelemetry interlinks with the broader landscape of cloud-native tools and platforms.With practical emphasis, the book delves into advanced instrumentation techniques for tracing, metrics, and logging, exploring manual and automatic instrumentation, context propagation across languages, performance optimization, and robust integration strategies for both greenfield and legacy environments. In-depth chapters meticulously guide practitioners through distributed tracing, metric collection, and log processing, illuminating patterns for trace correlation, sampling strategies, service-level indicator analysis, and sophisticated root cause diagnostics. The design and operational best practices for the OpenTelemetry Collector, including development of custom processors and exporters, ensure readers gain production-grade expertise for managing large-scale, heterogeneous telemetry pipelines.Beyond technical mastery, OpenTelemetry in Practice addresses enterprise adoption, governance, and emerging trends such as eBPF telemetry, machine learning-driven analytics, edge and IoT adaptations, and compliance for regulated industries. The book advocates for building mature observability cultures within organizations and equips readers with the knowledge to not only implement OpenTelemetry but also to contribute to its thriving open-source ecosystem. Whether you’re an engineer, architect, SRE, or leader driving cloud-native transformations, this authoritative guide empowers you to achieve resilient, insightful, and future-ready observability practices.

Quantum Physics for Beginners -...

Oliver Graves

What if everything you thought you knew about reality… was incomplete? 
How can a particle be in two places at once? Why does simply observing something change its behavior? And how can two objects be “connected” across vast distances with no visible link? 
This audiobook breaks down the mind-bending logic of quantum mechanics into something even complete beginners can follow — without dumbing it down. With engaging, bite-sized chapters, it brings you inside the bizarre but beautiful logic that shapes the tiniest parts of our universe… and influences far more than you might think. 
You’ll finally understand concepts like entanglement, the photoelectric effect, and quantum uncertainty — but more importantly, you’ll discover how these ideas connect to technology, philosophy, and even the human body. 
You’ll learn:Why the double-slit experiment is the weirdest and most important experiment in physicsHow observation can change reality, and what that really meansWhat Einstein got right — and wrong — about quantum mechanicsWhy energy is quantized, and what that means for atoms and lightHow mathematics became physics’ secret weaponWhat perturbation theory is, and how it helps predict the unpredictableThe surprising role of conservation laws and symmetriesWhat quantum physics tells us about the nature of time and causalityHow technology like lasers, transistors, and MRI depends on quantum principlesWhat modern science says about the human body as a quantum system 
Forget lifeless textbooks. This is science with all the wonder left in.Start listening — and discover the quantum side of reality you were never taught in school.

IBM SPSS - Comprehensive...

Walker Schmidt

We live in a world where information takes on a life of its own and spreads rapidly. Faster than ever before. For some people, their lives depend on obtaining a steady stream of information as it affects their lives in the most telling ways. The daily news is the simplest example of this phenomenon. It is truly the lifeblood of society and helps us evolve into better informed individuals with every passing day. As one can tell, information on the whole comes at us from every direction. Its influence on business, politics, and government, banking, the STEM fields, and even the social sciences cannot be understated. But its journey begins with raw data being compiled by means of an experiment or study. In saying that, this book should serve as a reference guide for those who wish to go beyond the basics into territory that requires a solid understanding of advanced statistical concepts. Still, as a beginner, it will be wise to move forward with care so that you solidify your understanding before you begin to use these advanced methods. Finally, even if the subject matter is a bit deep, don’t be so serious that you forget to have fun with both the SPSS tool and the study of statistics on the whole. Having said that, let’s get to crunching numbers without any further delay!
