About this event

Join us for what's sure to be an insightful session, as Dakota Paasman from Bindplane shares how their team solved a customer issue by increasing OpenTelemetry log ingestion by 150% and clearing a massive Kafka backlog in under 48 hours.

Here's a sneak peek of the key takeaways :

  • Early batching boosted throughput by 41%

  • Switching to the Franz-Go client unlocked 35% more performance

  • Changing the encoding from OTLP JSON to JSON increased performance another 30%

Scaling telemetry pipelines isn’t easy, especially with Kafka, at a massive scale. Tune in on September 24 (10:00 PDT / 17:00 CEST) to learn some tips!
