Backend engineer with 4+ years building distributed observability and data systems. At my current workplace, I built a CLI tool solving OpenTelemetry service-name collisions, architected 7+ production integrations increasing telemetry 2x, and designed type-safe config systems that eliminated biweekly crashes. Previously built large-scale facial recognition system with <50ms FAISS similarity search on 100K+ images.<p>I love building developer tools and infrastructure that just works. Passionate about open-source observability and making complex systems simple.
Our manager comes every 3-4 months, and assigns a ticket. Literally the only TEXT in the whole damn ticket was `Auto discovery in host and k8s`.
Auto discovery of fucking what?!!!
He writes in the message "IMP: we have a month so lets try to push to stage/BETA in 2-3 week and test it for a week and make it live before end of month."
mw-injector[0], it's a WIP project. It detects what Java, Node, Python or Golang services are running on a host and instruments it with Opentelemetry APM. Inspired by Otel-injector[1] but it automatically selects service names for each service so you have service level segregation.
There are great big software projects and shitty ones.
IRCTC, UPI being examples of great ones.
Insurance and RTO being shitty ones.
I had an insurance deadline very near and the payment was not showing up in the insurance providers dashboard so had to do it twice and now it was still not showing up.
Also I have faced huge problems with getting the learner's licence online.
I got my name wrong in the drivers card and never went to correct it. However most of the problems the problems there were administrative not software. I agree both irctc and upi come to mind first as the successes. Insurance, could be a particular company as i never faced such problem. Websites for Tax filing and even starting an msme has been smooth.
Working on a binary that will instrument every Java service running on Linux host machine with OpenTelemetry Java Agent.
Kinda like this (https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-injector) but with support of having multiple service name for different services. This includes tomcat, normal systemd services and also services running inside docker containers.
