  • VictoriaMetrics

    VictoriaMetrics: fast, cost-effective monitoring solution and time series database

    • Project mention: OpenTelemetry Is Too Complicated | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-03

    VictoriaMetrics CTO here.

    The referred library is the official OpenTelemetry package for reading metrics in Go language [1] - more details are available at [2].

    Note that we at VictoriaMetrics like the idea of unified observability standard like OpenTelemetry. The issue is in the current otel implementation. It is too bloated and very inefficient. This contradicts to our experience with observability cases, which need very optimized format for metrics' transfer in order to reduce costs on CPU and network traffic needed to transfer and process these metrics.

    VictoriaMetrics continues investing in OpenTelemetry by providing integration docs [3] and improving the existing functionality for otel metrics' ingestion [4].
