A Single Hub for Telemetry: OpenTelemetry Gateway

Sep 1, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9

The OpenTelemetry Gateway (OTel Gateway) is a centralized service that collects, processes, and routes telemetry data—metrics, traces, and logs—across your infrastructure. In a typical setup, each service pushes telemetry directly to an observability backend. While this approach works well for small environments, it becomes increasingly difficult to manage as systems grow.

OpenTelemetry Deep Dive: Resilience & High Availability in the OTel Collector

Aug 28, 2025 By Bindplane In ObservIQ

Missed it live? Catch the full recording of OpenTelemetry Deep Dive: Resilience & High Availability in the OTel Collector — a 1-hour workshop on building telemetry pipelines that never drop a signal. We’ll show you why resilience matters, how to design high-availability architectures, and how to configure the OpenTelemetry Collector with retries, batching, and persistent queues. Plus, you’ll see live demos in both Docker and Kubernetes — including scaling Gateway collectors with an HPA — and how Bindplane makes large-scale management seamless.

How should Prometheus handle OpenTelemetry resource attributes?

Aug 28, 2025 By Victoria Nduka In Grafana

Note: A version of this post originally appeared on the OpenTelemetry blog. Victoria Nduka is user experience designer and open source contributor making her way into the cloud native space. She writes about design, accessibility, and open source with the same curiosity she brings to her work. On May 29, I wrapped up my mentorship with Prometheus through the Linux Foundation mentorship program.

OpenTelemetry API vs SDK: Understanding the Architecture

Aug 25, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9

When you're instrumenting applications with OpenTelemetry, you'll encounter two core components: the API and the SDK. The API defines what telemetry data looks like and how it is created, while the SDK handles how that data is processed and exported. Understanding this split helps you build more maintainable observability and avoid tight coupling between your business logic and telemetry infrastructure.
