Observability For You And Me With Opentelemetry

on YouTube ↗37m

" summary

OpenTelemetry gets practical here: walkthrough of APIs and SDKs, the Collector’s agent vs gateway deployment, OTLP exporters to any back end (OpenTelemetry has no storage itself), and processors that mask sensitive data and aggregate traces into metrics. A demo app produces half a terabyte of observability in 30 days with typical retention of 13 months, driving real finOps pressure; note the community paths for contribution and the tooling around Collector and OTLP if wanting hands‑on next steps.
