Adobe’s https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-featherstone-4b8b01132/ and https://www.linkedin.com/in/shubhanshus/ praised the OpenTelemetry Collector as the Swiss army knife of observability in their talk at https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-source-summit-north-america/. Featherstone, senior manager for software development, explained that not all of this data flows through his team or the OTel collector, but “it’s a pretty good chunk.”

It does some application enrichment, brings in Adobe-specific data and enriches its pipelines as data flows to the collector.

“Before the introduction of the OpenTelemetry Collector, engineering teams at Adobe have been using different processes, different libraries in a different format.

They’re looking forward to integrating the OpenTelemetry logging libraries with core application libraries and running OTel collectors as sidecars to send metrics, traces and logs.
