    OpenTelemetry for Everyone: From Zero to Observability

    in-person

    Observability has become essential for building and operating modern applications, but getting started with OpenTelemetry can often feel overwhelming. This session is designed for developers, DevOps engineers, SREs, and platform teams who want to understand OpenTelemetry from the ground up.

    We'll begin by exploring what observability really means and why logs alone are no longer enough. You'll learn the three pillars of observability—metrics, logs, and traces—and how OpenTelemetry provides a vendor-neutral standard for collecting and exporting telemetry data.
