Keynote: OpenTelemetry And The Future of Open Source Observability
summary
OpenTelemetry is presented as the de facto plumbing for observability with a single spec and single wire format that major vendors like OpenAI Google Microsoft ship as an environment variable away. Industry analysts predicted mass adoption and surveys show 48% in production and ~50% evaluating. The ecosystem includes thousands of contributors, vendor neutral SIG governance, and concrete roadmaps for continuous profiling structured logs semantic conventions and AI copilots for incident detection and remediation. Reliance on a single vendor still poses real risk.
