“The standard for observability instrumentation. Auto-instrument once, send to any backend — Datadog, Grafana, Honeycomb.”
“Vendor-agnostic instrumentation prevents lock-in. The ecosystem is mature enough for production.”
“OpenTelemetry will be to observability what Kubernetes is to orchestration — the universal standard.”
