OpenTelemetry: The Vision, the Reality and How To Get Started
summary
Companies use 5 to 10 tools on average to collect logs, metrics and traces and the talk claims OpenTelemetry replaces that fragmentation with a vendor‑agnostic framework. It details a spec plus client libraries and the OpenTelemetry Collector pipeline (receivers → processors → exporters), the delivery protocol OTLP, and concrete status: traces GA, metrics at release‑candidate, logs experimental. Advice is to inventory languages, signals and backends, then choose SDKs/receivers and follow the openTelemetry.io status and beginner’s guide.
