Sawmills AI has introduced a smart telemetry data management platform aimed at reducing costs and improving data quality for enterprise observability. By acting as a middleware layer that uses AI and ML to optimize telemetry data before it reaches vendors like Datadog and Splunk, Sawmills helps companies manage data efficiently, retain data sovereignty, and reduce unnecessary data processing costs.
OpenTelemetry offers a standardized process for observability, but its functionality is a work in progress. Its usefulness depends on the observability tools and platforms used in conjunction with OpenTelemetry.
