Ben Linders — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 11:04:00 GMT

Observability must evolve with serverless, event-driven architectures. OpenTelemetry can decouple telemetry from vendors, letting developers emit consistent, high-quality data that explains real system behavior. Shared vocabularies and good telemetry make debugging faster and improve reliability, speed, and developer productivity.
