It’s renowned for its reliability, robustness, and comprehensive capabilities. It is capable of managing a broad variety of workloads, from small single-machine applications to large-scale enterprise databases.

OpenTelemetry is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation(CNCF) project aimed at standardizing the way we instrument applications for generating telemetry data(logs, metrics, and traces). However, OpenTelemetry does not provide storage and visualization for the collected telemetry data. For OpenTelemetry visualization, you need to use a backend that can ingest the collected data and provide a web UI to visualize it.
