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
