In modern applications, observability is essential. OpenTelemetry (OTel) has emerged as the standard for telemetry data, providing a unified way to collect, process, and export logs, metrics, and traces. Beyond data collection, organizations need effective ways to store, analyze, and visualize this telemetry to drive actionable insights.

This session is for developers looking to deepen their understanding of OpenTelemetry's architecture and its three key pillars: logs, metrics, and traces. We will walk through how OTel fits into an observability stack, the benefits it brings, and common integration patterns. A small demonstration will showcase how telemetry data can be captured and visualized in practice.

Audience Takeaway: A clear understanding of OpenTelemetry’s core components, how it supports observability across modern applications, and hands-on insights through a live demo.
