OpenTelemetry is the CNCF standard for traces, metrics, and logs collection. Vendor-agnostic instrumentation that works with any observability backend.
Reviewer scorecard
“Best documentation in cloud computing. Tutorials alone make it worth recommending. Simple, predictable pricing.”
“The standard for observability instrumentation. Auto-instrument once, send to any backend — Datadog, Grafana, Honeycomb.”
“Not for enterprise scale but for startups and indie projects, the simplicity and pricing are unbeatable.”
“Vendor-agnostic instrumentation prevents lock-in. The ecosystem is mature enough for production.”
“Squeezed between hyper-scalers above and serverless platforms below. The mid-market IaaS space is shrinking.”
“OpenTelemetry will be to observability what Kubernetes is to orchestration — the universal standard.”
