OpenTelemetry for Go: measuring the overhead

Jun 13, 2025 By Nikolay Sivko In Coroot

Everything comes at a cost — and observability is no exception. When we add metrics, logging, or distributed tracing to our applications, it helps us understand what’s going on with performance and key UX metrics like success rate and latency.

Jun 11, 2025 By Andrew Mallaband In Fabrix

Modern enterprises today often find themselves in a peculiar predicament: they are drowning in a deluge of telemetry data—including logs, metrics, and traces—yet paradoxically remain blind to what truly matters.

Jun 9, 2025 By Austin Parker In Honeycomb

In a really broad sense, the history of observability tools over the past couple of decades have been about a pretty simple concept: how do we make terabytes of heterogeneous telemetry data comprehensible to human beings? New Relic did this for the Rails revolution, Datadog did it for the rise of AWS, and Honeycomb led the way for OpenTelemetry.
