Start at the workload boundary
Prefer stable service, workload, queue, and route names over ephemeral pod IDs, raw resource paths, or provider payloads.
Instrument edge functions, serverless jobs, queues, Kubernetes workloads, streams, and cloud AI providers with customer-impact context.
Reviewed by the Telemetry product team on . Runtime boundaries, shared event fields, verification workflow, and upstream implementation sources. Review standards and ownership
14 implementation guides
Every guide includes a server-side snippet, delivery and privacy boundaries, a verification query, related SQL, and links to upstream documentation.

Prefer stable service, workload, queue, and route names over ephemeral pod IDs, raw resource paths, or provider payloads.
CPU, memory, restarts, lag, and throttling need request or job volume plus release context before they support a capacity decision.
Use infrastructure, tracing, and provider systems for their native detail. Send selected application outcomes to Telemetry for SQL analysis and customer impact.
Shared event contract
Adapt these fields to the workflow, but keep units, status categories, identifiers, and ownership explicit before several services depend on the same table.
