OpenTelemetry lessons: How Catawiki and Synamedia are empowering developers and reducing costs

With the explosion of cloud native architectures, it’s become challenging to understand and troubleshoot issues without proper observability. This has driven organizations to find modern Observability tools that can provide the necessary insights and visibility to help reduce MTTR and ensure reliability across their complex systems.

OpenTelemetry has quickly become the standard of choice for vendor agnostic Observability implementation. The open-source framework allows organizations to provide a common standard across development teams for end-to-end visibility across services.

As with any new technologies, there are surprising benefits and challenges that arise when trying to implement new practices across the organization. 

In this session you will hear:

• Updates on the latest advancement in OpenTelemetry from the community
• Lessons from two organizations adopting OpenTelemetry across their team and some of the key lessons they have learned along the way.

Speakers:

Austin Parker, OpenTelemetry Mainter, Head of DevRel, LightstepLabs
Olivier Delannoy, Senior Lead Software Engineer, Common Infrastructure Product, Synamedia
Muriel Picone Farías, Senior Software Engineer, Catawiki
