Observability in Practice: Implementing OpenTelemetry in Rust

Proposal status is Rejected
Session Description

As Rust gains traction in modern systems, ensuring robust observability becomes increasingly important. This talk presents a focused case study of integrating OpenTelemetry (OTEL) into the mecha-agent at MechaSystems. We’ll walk through the implementation of distributed tracing, metrics collection, and service instrumentation—highlighting lessons learned while supporting a multi-tenant architecture.

Key challenges addressed include isolating telemetry data per tenant, configuring OTEL collectors for secure and efficient data routing, and optimizing performance. The session includes practical code examples, integration strategies, and operational insights that attendees can apply to their own Rust systems.

Key Takeaways

  1. Practical OTEL Integration

  2. Multi-Tenancy Strategies
