Rust Application with OpenTelemetry Integration (Proof of Concept) Project Overview: We need a skilled developer to create a simple Rust application integrated with the complete observability stack using grafana/otel-lgtm. This is a proof of concept to demonstrate the integration between Rust and modern observability tools. What is grafana/otel-lgtm? grafana/otel-lgtm is a Docker image that provides a complete open source OpenTelemetry solution for observability by bundling: OpenTelemetry Collector: Receives and forwards telemetry signals Prometheus: Metrics storage and querying Grafana Loki: Log storage and querying Grafana Tempo: Trace storage and querying Grafana Pyroscope: Profile storage and querying Grafana: Visualization dashboards for all telemetry data Project Requirements: Core Application Simple Rust REST API (using Axum) 3-5 basic endpoints (GET, POST operations) Minimal business logic - focus is on observability validation Basic error scenarios for testing error traces OpenTelemetry Integration Logs: Structured logging with proper levels (INFO, WARN, ERROR) Traces: Request tracing across different functions/modules Metrics: Custom business metrics (request counts, response times, etc.) Profiles: CPU/memory profiling integration Infrastructure Setup: Docker Compose configuration including: Rust application container grafana/otel-lgtm stack Proper OpenTelemetry Collector configuration Network connectivity between services Grafana Dashboards: Basic dashboard showing: Application metrics (request rate, error rate, response time) Log aggregation views Trace visualization System resource usage Documentation: Clear README with setup instructions Code comments explaining OpenTelemetry implementation Configuration file documentation Basic troubleshooting guide Deliverables: Complete Rust application source code Docker Compose configuration files OpenTelemetry configuration files Basic Grafana dashboards (exported JSON) Comprehensive documentation Demo video/screenshots showing the working integration Note: This is a simple proof of concept focused on validating observability integration. The application itself should be minimal - the main value is demonstrating that Rust telemetry data flows correctly through the entire OTEL-LGTM stack.

Hi, I can deliver a minimal Rust REST API (Axum) fully wired to grafana/otel-lgtm for end-to-end observability: structured JSON logs with tracing/tracing-subscriber, distributed traces via tracing-opentelemetry + OTLP, custom metrics (request count, latency histograms, error rate) using metrics + OTEL exporter, and optional CPU/memory profiling with Pyroscope. The app will expose 3–5 GET/POST endpoints with normal and error paths, propagate trace context through middleware/handlers, and include clean error handling. I’ll provide Docker Compose for the Rust app and the full OTEL Collector pipeline (logs/metrics/traces/profiles) connected to Loki, Prometheus, Tempo, Pyroscope, and preload Grafana with a concise dashboard for RPS, p95 latency, error %, logs view, and trace explorer. Deliverables include the source code, compose files, collector config, Grafana dashboards (JSON), and a thorough README with one-command spin-up, environment variables, and a troubleshooting guide (ports, exporters, common OTLP gotchas). I’ll also add demo screenshots or a short video showing logs in Loki, traces in Tempo, metrics in Grafana/Prometheus, and (if enabled) profiles in Pyroscope. Ready to start immediately and keep the app intentionally simple so the telemetry integration is rock-solid and easy to extend. Best regards,

I have hands-on experience building Rust microservices with Axum and integrating full observability stacks using OpenTelemetry with Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, and Pyroscope. Your PoC goal of validating telemetry flow fits perfectly with my background. Approach: • Develop a minimal Axum REST API (3–5 endpoints, GET/POST) with basic error cases for trace testing. • Implement structured logging (INFO/WARN/ERROR), distributed tracing, and custom metrics (request counts, latencies) via OpenTelemetry SDK for Rust. • Integrate CPU/memory profiling with Pyroscope. • Configure Docker Compose to run the Rust app alongside grafana/otel-lgtm stack. • Configure OTEL Collector to route logs, traces, metrics, and profiles to the right Grafana backends. • Build basic Grafana dashboards for request rate, error rate, response times, logs, and trace visualization. • Provide a well-documented README with setup, config details, and troubleshooting tips, plus exported dashboard JSON. Quick clarifications: • Should the demo use pre-built dashboards or only minimal custom panels? • Any preference for metrics format (Prometheus text vs. OTLP)? • Do you need the PoC to run on Linux-only, or cross-platform Docker support?
