Getting you the most out of OpenTelemetry
Learn how Honeycomb makes OpenTelemetry work for you.
Does OpenTelemetry work with my stack?
- OpenTelemetry integrates with your frameworks, libraries, and loggers to show data flow through the software in distributed traces.
- It integrates with your runtimes and infrastructure to generate metrics.
- It processes telemetry for safety, efficiency, and common standards. In Austin Parker’s blog, you’ll find information on different parts of OpenTelemetry, including how mature the open-source components are.


There's a lot to know about OpenTelemetry! Honeycomb's experts are here for you.
- In MartinDotNet’s best practices series, you’ll get started with OpenTelemetry on the right foot. Semantic Conventions, automatic and manual instrumentation, the Collector, data prep, cleansing, and more—Martin covers many topics in his series.
- Start at the beginning: naming conventions.
Why is Honeycomb the best place to send your data?
