CNCF-hosted Co-located Events Europe 2025

In this session I’m going to take you on a journey of Delivery Hero - an international food delivery company - towards the goal of becoming observability vendor-independent. This journey will be long and hard and will take our hero through the forest of the unstable OpenTelemetry contrib components and the swamp of high memory and CPU consumption. It will require them to find new allies to overcome the challenge of routing for stateful collector components in non-federated environments and fight the metric temporality conversion monsters. I am going to demonstrate what keeps our hero motivated after all these hurdles and why they are still convinced that OpenTelemetry is the right tool for them to accomplish this mission.
