Telemetry without the 'Tool Tax'
#1about 4 minutes
The growing complexity of modern software development
Modern software development has become increasingly complex due to distributed architectures, containerization, Kubernetes, and high uptime demands.
#2about 4 minutes
Navigating the overwhelming explosion of observability tools
The discovery of monitoring and observability often leads to decision paralysis from a massive number of available tools, creating a "tool tax."
#3about 4 minutes
Understanding the origin story of OpenTelemetry
OpenTelemetry originated from the merger of OpenTracing and OpenCensus under the CNCF to create a unified, vendor-neutral standard for instrumentation.
#4about 3 minutes
How the OpenTelemetry data pipeline works
Telemetry data flows from your application through the OTel API and language-specific SDK to a collector, which receives, processes, and exports the data.
#5about 4 minutes
Defining core telemetry concepts like traces and metrics
A trace represents a single end-to-end request composed of spans, while a metric provides aggregated data over a period of time.
#6about 3 minutes
Owning and exporting your telemetry data with OTel
OpenTelemetry gives you ownership of your data, allowing you to build a custom backend or easily export to any vendor using a simple configuration file.
#7about 2 minutes
Why OpenTelemetry matters for modern DevOps teams
OpenTelemetry reduces tool proliferation and cognitive load by providing a single, stable dependency, freeing teams to focus on shipping performant code.
