It's been said that open source software is eating the world. In the observability space, the project making this possible is OpenTelemetry. It's quickly becoming the standard for instrumentation and data collection of observability data. Understanding what data to collect and how to collect it properly is fundamental to ensuring users can quickly address availability and performance issues. Steve Flanders, Director of Engineering at Splunk, discusses the components of the project, its current status, and how you can get started integrating it into your modern app infrastructure.
