Pastries with SREs: OTel me where the cronuts are

Sep 16, 2025

In this episode of Pastries with SREs, we tackle an observability debated topic:

Do you need a Single Pane of Glass OR is OpenTelemetry a better strategy?

We explore:

  • Why some vendors sell the “single pane of glass” as the ultimate solution
  • Why many customers still want best-in-class observability tools
  • How OpenTelemetry (OTel) offers a more flexible, scalable, and vendor-neutral approach
  • How open standards make observability easier to manage and trust
