# It's a bird. It's a plane. No... It's OpenTelemetry


- **Date:** Thursday, Jul 18, 2024
- **Time:** 13:15–15:15 (120 min)
- **Room:** Workshop room M6 (40)
- **Event:** World Congress 2024

## Description

In a world... Where the evil vendors want you, the hero, to use their proprietary agents and libraries and APIs... OpenTelemetry is your side-kick on the horizon. In this workshop we will show you what the fuzz is all about. As a hands-on example you will have a little service and instrument it using OpenTelemetry libraries. You will then get your fingers on the OpenTelemetry Collector to manipulate and send your data to an analytics backend. These two hours will give you an understanding of OpenTelemetry to make the next strategic decision for your development projects. 

Please remember to bring your laptop for this workshop!
