OpenTelemetry is an open-source project that allows us to collect and export traces, logs, and metrics (also known as the three pillars of observability). It allows us to gather data from the events that happen in our systems that ultimately help us understand our software’s performance and behavior.

In this session, you will experience a full OpenTelemetry Bootcamp* in under 45-minutes. From the very basics, including what OpenTelemetry is and how it can help you, all the way to advanced concepts such as sampling, security, the collector, and deploying in production.

This session will serve you as the roadmap for implementing OpenTelemetry and as your guide to understanding key concepts.
