OpenTelemetry has been moving fast over the last few years, from new signals like Continuous Profiling and RUM, to enhancements to the SDKs and the Semantic Conventions, but why should you care?

In this talk we'll cover all the changes over the last 12 months, why they exist, what usecases they enable, and how they'll help you be a better developer. We'll then go to the future and talk about what's coming over the next 12 months.

You'll come away with an understanding of what you might have missed, but also an idea of what to look out for as you're building out your systems.
