KubeCon North America 2025: OpenTelemetry Recap from Atlanta

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2025 wrapped up in Atlanta last week, and it sure did feel like a big one for OpenTelemetry. Between Observability Day, the project updates, and the activity around the OpenTelemetry Observatory booth, you could feel how quickly the ecosystem is maturing.

From KubeCon EU to KubeCon NA: Bindplane's OpenTelemetry Contributions and Highlights (Mar-Oct 2025)

Bindplane engineers have stayed deeply involved in the OpenTelemetry community this summer. With KubeCon+CloudNativeCon North America in Atlanta coming up I wanted to dive into all the work that has been done and give the engineers a well deserved shoutout. Here’s what we built, fixed, and contributed since KubeCon+CloudNativeCon Europe in London this March.

Custom OpenTelemetry Collectors: Build, Run, and Manage at Scale

I tried thinking back to when the last time I read an actual tutorial that did not include a bunch of em (—) dashes, semicolons, normal dashes, and an unnervingly large quantity of the phrases like “XYZ-thing Alert ” and “Exciting News!”. Well, hold on to your suspenders folks, here we go again. Part 2 is up and it’s a controversial one.

OpenTelemetry Deep Dive: Resilience & High Availability in the OTel Collector

Missed it live? Catch the full recording of OpenTelemetry Deep Dive: Resilience & High Availability in the OTel Collector — a 1-hour workshop on building telemetry pipelines that never drop a signal. We’ll show you why resilience matters, how to design high-availability architectures, and how to configure the OpenTelemetry Collector with retries, batching, and persistent queues. Plus, you’ll see live demos in both Docker and Kubernetes — including scaling Gateway collectors with an HPA — and how Bindplane makes large-scale management seamless.

Kafka Performance Crisis: How We Scaled OpenTelemetry Log Ingestion by 150%

When your telemetry pipeline starts falling behind, the countdown to production impact has already begun. One Bindplane customer operating a large-scale log ingestion pipeline built on the OpenTelemetry Collector and Kafka hit that breaking point. Instead of keeping pace with incoming data, their pipeline was ingesting just 12,000 events per second (EPS) per partition/collector—and this Kafka topic had 16 partitions. In aggregate, that was roughly 192K EPS.
