Enhancing Observability with OpenTelemetry (OTEL)

In modern software systems, observability is critical for maintaining
performance, reliability, and user satisfaction. OpenTelemetry (OTEL)
has emerged as a powerful, open-source framework for unified telemetry
collection, enabling developers to monitor, trace, and debug complex
distributed applications with ease.

We will cover:
- General principles of OTEL
- Pros and cons of adoption
- Federation of telemetry data
- Cost avoidance mechanisms

We will walk through real-world use cases that highlight OTEL's
application in enhancing observability for microservices and
cloud-native environments. Whether new to observability or looking to
optimize your existing stack, this talk will provide actionable
insights into harnessing OTEL for your systems.
