OpenTelemetry (OTel) is an open-source observability framework designed for collecting, processing, and exporting traces, metrics, and logs from applications. It provides a standardized way to instrument applications and infrastructure to gain insights into their performance and behavior.

We use OTel at Future AGI because it’s vendor-agnostic, open source, and highly performant. It’s a standard that includes batch processing of traces and spans in the magnitude of billions.

​
Why Use It?

  • 🔓 Vendor-neutral: Not locked to any specific provider
  • 🌐 Open source: Free and community-driven
  • ⚡ High performance: Handles billions of traces efficiently

OTel collects traces, metrics, and logs to monitor system performance and events.
