Worked on the Kong/kong repository to enhance observability and distributed tracing capabilities in API gateway environments. Developed a feature for the OpenTelemetry plugin that enables dynamic resource attributes for traces and logs, allowing attributes to be derived from request headers and validated through schema checks. Built comprehensive tests to ensure reliability and maintainability. Additionally, implemented Instana tracing header propagation by creating extractor and injector modules, updating configuration schemas, and adding unit and integration tests to verify correct trace and span ID handling. Utilized Lua for plugin development, focusing on backend development, distributed tracing, and robust telemetry integration throughout the process.
February 2025 - Kong/kong: Delivered Instana tracing header propagation support, enabling end-to-end traceability across services. Implemented extractor and injector modules for Instana, updated configuration schemas, and added comprehensive unit and integration tests to validate correct propagation of Instana trace and span IDs. This work enhances observability, reduces MTTR, and strengthens integration with Instana APM.

Concise monthly summary for 2024-11 focusing on key accomplishments across Kong/kong. Key features delivered: OpenTelemetry plugin: Dynamic resource attributes for traces and logs—enables variable resource attributes, including header-derived values, with schema validation and tests; and applied to both traces and logs. Major bugs fixed: none reported this month. Overall impact: enhances observability configurability, reduces manual configuration, and improves trace/log correlation across environments; demonstrates solid Git-based deployment hygiene. Technologies/skills demonstrated: OpenTelemetry integration, Kong plugin development, schema validation, test automation, and commit-driven development.
