OpenTelemetry as a Service
<p>Introducing a new technology on an organisation level, isn’t usually an easy task, that’s why its not uncommon for companies to end up using multiple tools that essentially do the same thing. Managing all these tools makes it hard to govern and prevents collaboration (with teams using different tools). In addition to this, these tools usually cost a small fortune (especially for small and midsize companies).</p>
<p>Until recently, there hasn’t been a good alternative to overcome these problems..</p>
<h2>OpenTelemetry to the rescue</h2>
<p>To help solve these problems, we can use this “new” phenomenon called <a href="https://opentelemetry.io/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">OpenTelemetry</a>.</p>
<p>Wait.. ANOTHER tool you may think? Well.. yes, but this one is different (I promise).</p>
<p>The <a href="https://opentelemetry.io/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">OpenTelemetry</a> project aims to provide a <strong>vendor agnostic way</strong> to instrument and collect your data. This means that we don’t require a<strong> propriety agent </strong>to run on our machines, this can now be handled <strong>by the SDKs/APIs and a collector from OpenTelemetry.</strong></p>
