What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of correlating logs and understanding request flows across distributed microservices by automatically integrating comprehensive observability tooling into Go gRPC applications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-End Instrumentation: Wires OpenTelemetry for traces (Jaeger/OTLP), Prometheus metrics, and structured logging.
  • Trace Propagation: Automatically injects trace IDs into logs and propagates spans across gRPC calls.
  • Production Readiness: Includes Prometheus endpoint configuration and Docker Compose additions for easy deployment.
  • Use Case: A developer needs to debug a slow request in a microservice architecture. This skill ensures that every request is automatically traced, logged with context, and exposes metrics, making it simple to pinpoint bottlenecks and errors.
