Elevator Pitch
You have heard of OpenTelemetry in the context of traces. But did you know OpenTelemetry also supports metrics with a forward-looking data model?
This talk will demystify everything about Otel Metrics, the data model & the differences between Otel Metrics and Prometheus.
Description
You have probably heard of OpenTelemetry in the context of traces. But did you know OpenTelemetry also supports metrics with a comprehensive, forward-looking data model and SDKs?
One thinks of Prometheus when it comes to metrics, but Otel metrics provide exciting ideas such as cumulative deltas, exponential histograms, and many more! Even the Prometheus ecosystem is getting excited about OpenTelemetry Metrics, and there are plans to natively support Otel Metrics in Prometheus. What does it mean for SREs and DevOps folks and how they can benefit from the OpenTelemetry Metrics?
This talk will demystify everything about Otel Metrics, from the data model to APIs to how to get started. We will cover the differences between Otel Metrics and Prometheus and reasons to get excited by using Otel Metrics.
