GraphQL–Application Insights integration for HotChocolate 13

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you've certainly seen my earlier post on how to integrate Application Insights telemetry in your HotChocolate based GraphQL backend.

IMPORTANT: Although the code below will still work, I would recommend to switch to the integrated OpenTelemetry functionality and send the information to Application Insights in this way.

Today I had to upgrade an application to HotChocolate 13 and (again) I noticed that the application no longer compiled. So for people who are using the ApplicationInsightsDiagnosticsListener I shared, here is an updated version that works for HotChocolate 13:

A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
