Georg Pirklbauer - OpenSource metrics primer: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and beyond

Metrics are a crucial yet often misunderstood part of every observability stack. Prometheus is a well-known standard for collecting and exporting metrics in the cloud-native world. The OpenTelemetry project has been working on a standard compatible with Prometheus but offers some additional capabilities. But why do we need another standard? And what parts of the standard are actually relevant when using metrics?

Join us in Linz and learn how to get started, what the different metric types are, and how you can export them using OpenTelemetry. We will also take a look at what other configuration options you have and how to most effectively use metrics in your application.
