Use this SigNoz Laravel guide to wire OpenTelemetry, keep queue context intact, and compare that setup with a managed Laravel APM path.
Debug Laravel in production beyond dd() and Log::info(). Use Telescope, dynamic logs, distributed tracing, and performance profiling.

Set up OpenTelemetry PHP auto-instrumentation for Laravel, configure OTLP before autoload, and verify request, SQL, and queue trace boundaries.

Detect N+1 queries with query counts and traces. Find repeated database calls, fix ORM loading, and verify the result in production.

Add OpenTelemetry tracing to Laravel with verified request, database, queue, and HTTP client spans, plus production checks for trace gaps.
