Bridging the OpenTelemetry Adoption Gap in Cloud-Native Applications
Talkat Cloud Native University 2025 · on Tuesday, 2025-04-01· at 15:20· Level 0 | ICC Capital Hall | Room J·
summary
Industry survey shows 86% of tech leaders find modern stacks too complex, so the concrete answer is adoption of OpenTelemetry as the default instrumentation standard. The demo configures Envoy/mesh to emit spans and access logs over OTLP into an OpenTelemetry Collector, exports to a SigNoz-compatible backend, and displays correlated traces, metrics and logs in a unified service map — it works end-to-end. The talk stresses semantic conventions, native SDKs and auto‑instrumentation, and points to hands‑on labs like Spin and Wasmcloud for practical training.
