As a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project, OpenTelemetry is vendor- and tool-agnostic. Developers can use it with a variety of observability backends, including open source tools such as Jaeger and Prometheus in addition to observability vendors. However, it is not a storage backend or a frontend UI for query visualization and querying. To understand OpenTelemetry more fully, let’s take a look at its components, benefits and tradeoffs. Why Use OpenTelemetry?

In 2020, I presented a series with insights from real implementations adopting open source and cloud native technology to modernize payment services. The series consisted of six articles and covered architectural diagrams from logical, schematic, to detailed views of the various use cases uncovered.

Last week, from June 26-28, hundreds of monitoring and observability practitioners visited Portland for Monitorama 2023. This conference focuses on the latest technology and gives folks the chance to reconnect with familiar faces and really take the time to delve into all possible conversations around observability. Attendees were able to keep busy between the conference talks, product demos, post-show cocktail hours, and the incredible food scene Portland has to offer.

While container and cloud technology are increasingly mature, there are still a lot of different software, staffing, and architecture considerations that CTOs must address to ensure that everything runs smoothly and operates together. The Gartner “A CTO’s Guide to Navigating the Cloud Native Container Ecosystem” reportestimates that by 2028, more than 95% of global organizations will be running containerized applications in production, which is a significant increase from fewer than 50% in 2023.
