OpenTelemetry is the CNCF standard for traces, metrics, and logs collection. Vendor-agnostic instrumentation that works with any observability backend.
Reviewer scorecard
“Run any Docker container globally with `fly launch`. The Machines API for programmatic VM creation is uniquely powerful.”
“The standard for observability instrumentation. Auto-instrument once, send to any backend — Datadog, Grafana, Honeycomb.”
“Global deployment is its strength. For edge-first architectures, Fly.io solves distribution better than anyone.”
“Vendor-agnostic instrumentation prevents lock-in. The ecosystem is mature enough for production.”
“Apps running close to users is the future. Fly.io's Machines API enables new categories of distributed applications.”
“OpenTelemetry will be to observability what Kubernetes is to orchestration — the universal standard.”
