Scaling Observability with OpenTelemetry: A Technical Overview

Observability isn’t just about collecting data. It’s about making that data useful. In a world full of endless system events, how can we actually understand what’s going on?

In this episode of 🌩️ Thunder, Whitney Lee and Austin Parker talk through how OpenTelemetry came to be, what it includes, and how it helps make telemetry data easier to work with. From APIs and SDKs to semantic conventions and collectors, this recap covers the origins and evolution of OpenTelemetry, implementation strategies, practical use cases, how it helps tie everything together across metrics, traces, and logs and future roadmap.
