OpenTelemetry - Making Visibility Easy
Effortlessly integrate telemetry data from metrics, logs, and traces to simplify data aggregation across your entire stack, enabling holistic insights into system performance and behavior.
Proprietary Instrumentation Challenges
Without OpenTelemetry, teams face these critical observability challenges:
Vendor Lock-In with Proprietary Agents
Proprietary monitoring agents tie you to specific vendors, making it expensive and time-consuming to switch providers or use multiple backends.
"As a staff engineer, we spent 6 months rewriting instrumentation when switching monitoring vendors because everything was tied to their proprietary SDK."
Inconsistent Instrumentation Across Languages
Each language and framework has different instrumentation libraries with varying features and APIs, creating maintenance headaches in polyglot environments.
"As a platform team lead, our Node.js and Java services are instrumented completely differently, making it impossible to create unified observability standards."
Manual Instrumentation Overhead
Adding detailed observability requires manually instrumenting code with spans, logs, and metrics, slowing down development and creating inconsistencies.
"As a backend developer, I spend 20% of my time adding manual tracing spans instead of building features, and still miss critical instrumentation points."
Lack of Standardized Telemetry
Different services emit telemetry in different formats, making it difficult to correlate data and build unified dashboards across your entire stack.
"As an observability engineer, correlating traces from our frontend (vendor A), backend (vendor B), and databases (vendor C) is nearly impossible due to format differences."
Sampling and Data Loss
Proprietary agents use inconsistent sampling strategies, leading to lost traces during incidents and incomplete visibility into rare but critical errors.
"As an incident commander, the exact trace I need to debug the incident was sampled away, leaving me with incomplete information during our worst outage."
Collector Configuration and Deployment Overhead
Deploying and configuring OpenTelemetry Collectors across environments requires significant DevOps effort and ongoing maintenance.
"As a DevOps engineer, managing OpenTelemetry Collector configs across 50 services and 3 environments is time-consuming and error-prone."
OpenTelemetry Native,
Future-Proof Observability
Built on open standards, not proprietary formats. Avoid vendor lock-in and future-proof your observability strategy with OpenTelemetry.
Vendor-Neutral Observability
Avoid vendor lock-in with OpenTelemetry's open standard. Send telemetry data to any backend, switch providers easily, and maintain full control over your observability stack.
Unified Telemetry Collection
Three pillars of observability—logs, metrics, and traces—integrated into a single platform. Seamlessly correlate data types for faster root cause analysis and more effective problem resolution.
Auto-Instrumentation & Standards
Automatically instrument applications with OTel SDKs. Standardized instrumentation streamlines collaboration, simplifies onboarding, and ensures consistent monitoring across diverse microservices architectures.
