PROFILE

Josh W Lewis

Worked on the heroku/libcnb.rs repository to enhance observability and tracing across the buildpack lifecycle. Delivered a telemetry upgrade by integrating the latest OpenTelemetry SDK and restructuring trace data, introducing a custom OTLP file exporter and making protocol dependencies optional for improved flexibility. Implemented tracing instrumentation throughout the detect and build phases using Rust and the tracing crate, with structured logs and error handling routed through tracing::error!. Updated integration tests and buildpack fixtures to align with new output formats, ensuring CI stability. These changes improved end-to-end visibility, reduced mean time to recovery, and supported modern metrics backends.

Monthly summary for 2025-03 (heroku/libcnb.rs): Delivered tracing instrumentation across buildpack detect and build phases by integrating the tracing library, updated error handling to use tracing::error!, and ensured trace export data is newline-separated (jsonl) with assertions. Included changelog updates and alignment with the observability pipeline. This work enhances end-to-end visibility of the build lifecycle and supports faster debugging and triage.

February 2025 monthly summary for the heroku/libcnb.rs repository. Delivered a Telemetry and Observability upgrade and aligned tests with updated buildpack outputs. Improved tracing fidelity and stack visibility by upgrading the OpenTelemetry SDK to a newer version, adding a custom OTLP file exporter, and restructuring TraceData to group spans under ResourceSpans with a top-level resource field. Refactored tracer creation and made opentelemetry-proto optional, with updated tests to cover the new structure. Fixed integration test expectations to reflect changes in the procfile buildpack output and updated the buildpack fixture version to ensure CI stability. These changes enhance observability, reduce mean time to recovery (MTTR), and improve compatibility with newer buildpacks and metrics backends.
