Telemetry Talks - Ep.1 - Observability and OpenTelemetry

In the first episode of Telemetry Talks, Diana talks with Jose, VictoriaMetrics Cloud Lead, about the practical origins of observability and how OpenTelemetry is shaping modern monitoring. They cover why observability became critical as systems moved from monoliths to microservices, how OpenTelemetry unifies traces, metrics, and logs while avoiding vendor lock-in, and how it integrates natively with VictoriaMetrics.

In this talk, we cover:

12:00 - Observability challenges in microservices architectures
13:30 - OpenTelemetry as a standard for telemetry data
24:00 - Native integration with VictoriaMetrics
26:30 - Lessons from running and scaling modern systems
