Purposeful OpenTelemetry

Originally posted as a livestream from OllyGarden.

Organizations collect far more telemetry than they use. The result? Exponential costs, PII risks, and still no root cause when incidents happen.

In this technical session, Yuri Oliveira (OllyGarden) and Severin Neumann (Causely) demonstrate:

  • How to identify instrumentation problems at the source
  • Why traces and semantic conventions enable purposeful telemetry
  • How quality telemetry enables causal reasoning at scale

Know what to chase when everything breaks

See how Causely helps teams cut through cascading symptoms, identify the real source of issues, and act with confidence in production and before changes ship.
