summary
Companies standardize on a managed stack and bootstrapped SDKs so most apps need no manual instrumentation, and an OTEL collector sidecar runs on pods and hosts to centralize pipelines. Cost controls include per-team quotas, rate limits, pre-aggregation, and 2% head sampling with tail sampling; one config change drops throughput from 350M to <3M events/day. Migrating from statsd to OpenTelemetry cuts CPU and tooling maintenance, enables end-to-end browser-to-backend traces, and makes profiling and aggregation pipelines practical.
