As technologists, we often become overwhelmed by the latest technologies, all with guarantees to make your environment harder, better, faster and stronger. While those promises may sound great on paper, often only the most robust operations can afford the time, let alone the costs, to implement the latest and greatest tooling.

For many operations, the need for a lean, technical stack makes implementing any new technology, such as observability, a “nice to have.”

One of the best parts of OpenTelemetry is that it does not require refactoring your entire environment.

OpenTelemetry grants you the tools you need to better build applications today, and the framework needed for success over time.
