You may have previously heard about OpenTelemetry (also known as OTel) if you have looked into improved ways of standardising different data types. In this article, we’ll delve into the key things you need to know about OpenTelemetry and how this unified standard may become the future of how logs, metrics, events and traces are all handled.
As organisations increasingly send their logs to one service, their metrics to another and their traces to a third location, they remain unable to gain a unified view across all of their data types.

The larger the project, the more developers, engineers, and project owners were supposed to be faithful to each other’s schedules.
