"I think the reason why #OTel has become so popular, so fast, is that distributed systems have such a deep requirement for open standards and interoperability.... Before OTel, observability vendors were creating monetization strategies around proprietary instrumentation and data formats, and creating mazes that made it difficult for enterprises to switch to other providers, and OTel has opened that all up and made observability vendors compete instead on the strength of their platforms, while the underlying telemetry is agnostic." - Juraci Paixão Kröhling on #OpenTelemetry's impact on #observability for @DZoneInc. dzone.com/articles/opentelem…
