Dynatrace announced it is collaborating with Google and Microsoft on the OpenTelemetry project to shape the future of open standards-based observability. To further advance the industry and extend the reach of its Software Intelligence Platform, Dynatrace is contributing transaction tracing knowhow and manpower to the project. OpenTelemetry is focused on providing standardized transaction-level observability through the generation, collection, and description of telemetry data for distributed cloud-native systems. As OpenTelemetry becomes more widely adopted, it will serve as an additional data source that further extends the breadth of cloud observability, including expanding the broad reach of what the Dynatrace® Software Intelligence Platform already automatically collects and ingests into Davis™, its explainable AI engine. Dynatrace is working with Microsoft, Google and others as a core contributor to OpenTelemetry, providing its technical knowhow, manpower, and code to equip the project with enterprise-grade capabilities, including: Higher-level instrumentation APIs: offering higher-fidelity tracing code to enable developers to quickly and easily build observability into their cloud-native applications and reduce the monitoring blind-spots as new methodologies and programming languages emerge. Integration of universal Trace Context: supporting the availability of transactional context across hybrid multi-clouds, ensuring organizations can more easily maintain end-to-end observability across their cloud-native ecosystems. Runtime management: helping organizations ensure the resources needed to gain observability into the individual components and software libraries underpinning their cloud-native applications are dynamically available.
