OTel-Native by Design – Building Products That Export to Any Observability Stack

Very unfortunate that this article is written by an LLM. Reading over, the premise and the conclusion are what a chat session filled with RAG and MCP calls would bring about. Disapointed in the OTel leadership, the blog is usually a nice place to read about what is happening with the community.

OTel-native sounds great in theory, but every vendor still finds a way to pull you into their proprietary query dialect or storage tax once you hit scale at production.

I have been working observability world more than 10 years and what I can say is that OTEL is one of the biggest step in this space even though different vendors have their own things.

I wish the format wasn't so ass, it's so wasteful and annoying to modify

Genius! “level, timestamp, message”

Fake engagement... LOL
