Full-Stack Application Monitoring: Datadog, Sentry, and OpenTelemetry
Combine OpenTelemetry distributed tracing, Sentry error tracking, and Datadog APM metrics to maintain 99.99% uptime across production systems.

- OpenTelemetry provides a vendor-neutral standard for collecting logs, metrics, and distributed traces.
- Capture unhandled frontend exceptions instantly with Sentry source map integration.
- Monitor database query latency and external API call bottlenecks using Datadog APM traces.
Full-Stack Application Monitoring & Observability
Observability enables engineering teams to understand the internal state of a distributed system by analyzing telemetry data (logs, metrics, and traces).
**TL;DR:** Achieve enterprise visibility using vendor-neutral OpenTelemetry distributed tracing alongside Sentry error tracking.
Why use OpenTelemetry over vendor-specific SDKs?
OpenTelemetry prevents vendor lock-in, allowing telemetry data to be routed to Datadog, Grafana, or New Relic without code changes.
