I used to be a big believer of #otel. Now? Use profiling with #eBPF and or have #sentry like instrumentation. You get so much more data out of these and FAR less work in bootstrapping. 😅

🚨 Attention all spreadsheet fanatics: #OTel isn't going well, and our hero here decided that creating a 14-minute read about it was the perfect remedy! 🤦♂️ Instead of fixing #OpenTelemetry, let's just make a spreadsheet—because everyone knows nothing says "solution" like rows and columns of data chaos. 📊💥

We're just over a week away from Beer City Code! Come by and see my sessions on #OTEL & #SpecKit.

OpenTelemetry compile-time auto instrumentation for Go projects is here!
I used it on one of my side projects. I literally just swapped `go build` with `otelc go build` and removed hundreds of lines of boilerplate code. I love removing code. Works like a charm for me!

Your production agents are already generating high-value training data. It's in your OTEL traces.
Learn how to turn production telemetry into datasets for fine-tuning SLMs, then safely roll them out with evaluation gates and canary releases.

Want to get started with #OpenTelemetry but the thought of instrumenting your application code puts you off?
With #eBPF you can get table stakes telemetry without changing your code.Check out this OpenObservability Talks piece to learn about #OTel 's OBI and how it provides open source no-code multi-language and multi-protocol instrumentation:

What if #OpenSearch could natively ingest #OpenTelemetry data without a collector/agent?
I'm really happy to see this PoC by #SAP for 𝚘𝚙𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚌𝚑-𝚘𝚝𝚕𝚙-𝚛𝚎𝚌𝚎𝚒𝚟𝚎𝚛 plugin for a native OTLP endpoint to ingest into OpenSearch cluster

Is anyone around here an "expert" in #machinelearning #observabilty ? It's a huge topic, of course, but I am looking for someone to do a presentation that is focused on #opensource tools. I dont really care what the tools are but I think not talking about #otel at least a bit would be a miss.
The presentation is directed at a wildly diverse technical audience in terms of seniority so wouldn't worry about that.
We can talk here or you can email me @ [email protected].
A thread, I guess...

Why does #OpenTelemetry feel so complex?
@dan_gomezblanco, @opentelemetry SIG End-User Maintainer and former member of #OTel ’s Governance Committee, is sharing the feedback from end-users, across both essential complexity and accidental complexity, and how the project is now addressing it with the #Blueprints initiative.

That well-meaning TelemetryHelper wrapper over #OpenTelemetry? It probably hurts more than helps: kills zero-alloc paths, adds lookups to your hot path, and your team learns the wrapper instead of #OTel.
Skip the wrapper. 👇

flow-php/telemetry (#PHP implementation of #OTEL) faced an architectural issue tied to the php nature (single thread/process).
