Why Developers Should Care About OpenTelemetry for Observability

In today’s fast-paced world of software development, ensuring that applications are reliable, performant, and scalable is more important than ever. With the rise of microservices, cloud-native architectures, and distributed systems, understanding how different components of an application interact has become increasingly complex.

This is where OpenTelemetry (OTel) comes in. OpenTelemetry is an open-source observability framework that enables developers to collect and analyze traces, metrics, and logs—the three fundamental data types needed to understand application behavior. In this session we will discuss and visualize why should developers, not just DevOps or SRE teams, care about OpenTelemetry?
