OpenTelemetry
Business Profile
Core Value Proposition
OpenTelemetry provides high-quality, ubiquitous, and portable telemetry to enable effective observability.
Target Customer
Developers and DevOps teams, and organizations building software that requires observability instrumentation.
Key Differentiator
CNCF-incubating, open-source, vendor-neutral observability framework formed by merging OpenTracing and OpenCensus; multi-language APIs/SDKs with drop-in instrumentation and extensive library/framework integrations.
Implementation Timeline
Not specified
Pain Points
- 1Need to instrument, collect, and export telemetry data (metrics, logs, traces) from services to analyze performance and behavior.
- 2Lack of standardization across languages/tools leading to vendor lock-in or fragmented telemetry.
- 3Difficulty instrumenting quickly due to reliance on language/library-specific instrumentation.
Key Features
- 1APIs, SDKs, and tools to instrument, generate, collect, and export telemetry data (metrics, logs, traces).
- 2Cross-language support across several languages.
- 3Drop-in instrumentation and integrations with many libraries and frameworks; supports code-based and zero-code instrumentation.
- 4Open source and vendor-neutral; CNCF project.
Target Customer Industries
Client Results
- 1Improved observability by enabling standardized telemetry across traces, metrics, and logs.
