Telemetry Talks ep 3: OpenTelemetry with VictoriaMetrics observability signals

In this episode of Telemetry Talks, we explore OpenTelemetry observability signals—metrics, logs, and traces, and how VictoriaMetrics handles each of them with high performance, cost efficiency, and seamless integration. We briefly explain what each signal is, discuss common misconceptions, and share guidance on which signal to start with if you're new to observability. Together with our guests, both engineers at VictoriaMetrics, we walk through integrating VictoriaMetrics with the OpenTelemetry demo, showcase Grafana dashboards, and check the playgrounds for all three signals to see them in action.
