With the addition of profiling to OpenTelemetry, we expect continuous production profiling to hit the mainstream.
This article explains the differences between observability, telemetry, and monitoring, and how they work together to help teams understand and improve their software systems. It also discusses the benefits of using OpenTelemetry, a standard for creating and collecting telemetry for software systems, and Honeycomb's observability platform.
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.
