[VDBUH22] Philipp Krenn - The State of OpenTelemetry

Tracing, telemetry, metrics, and standardization are popular topics right now, but the development is so quick that it also confuses. This talk gives an overview of standards, projects, and how they all tie together. Starting with OpenTracing, then W3C Trace-Context, and now OpenTelemetry there are plenty of standards, but what do or don’t they cover? Which parts of OpenTelemetry are ready for production (and widely used) and what’s still in the works? What are the features and limits of auto-instrumentation and where do you need to (still) manually instrument? What is everyone’s experience with OpenTelemetry so far?
