Proprietary APM solutions have provided immense value to developers, yet are very expensive, in part because there was no good way to assemble a similar feature set in OSS. Everything from the agents over the collection layers to the backends were proprietary. This is now changing with OpenTelemetry and its instrumentation SDKs and backends like Prometheus, Jaeger.
This talk will show you how you could leverage the power of OpenTelemetry and CNCF backends like Prometheus and Jaeger to build a compelling APM solution. We will also cover implementation risks and the upcoming improvements in the OTel community that will make things easier and more valuable. All built with and on top of Open Source.
