Suzy Wang contributed to the Kong/kong repository by developing features that enhance distributed tracing and observability in API gateway environments. She built dynamic resource attribute support for the OpenTelemetry plugin, enabling traces and logs to include variable, header-derived attributes with schema validation and automated tests. Suzy also implemented Instana tracing header propagation, creating extractor and injector modules in Lua to ensure accurate trace and span ID transmission across services. Her work focused on backend plugin development, distributed tracing, and telemetry, resulting in more configurable observability and improved trace correlation, while maintaining strong test coverage and commit-driven development practices throughout.

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.
