Dynatrace is a leading contributor to the OpenTelemetry project. It supports OTLP traces, metrics, and logs and offers a supported OpenTelemetry Collector distribution with receivers for signals like StatsD and Prometheus. By investing in OpenTelemetry, Dynatrace can focus more on analytics and less on data collection. This is Dynatrace's long-term strategy.
In the short term (at least the next 18 months), data collection decisions remain important, especially for vendors like Dynatrace that provide added value beyond standard trace views, golden signals, alerting, and dashboards. Organizations need to think about these instrumentation choices on a workload-by-workload, and team-by-team basis.
Choosing between OneAgent and OpenTelemetry instrumentation is pretty straightforward. Teams use OpenTelemetry to send observability signals to more than one backend. Teams use OneAgent for its added value, such as deep code-level insights in the context of traces or performance anomalies.
Over time, these decisions will become less critical as data collection becomes more of a commodity.

There are interesting correlations that lead people to believe the phone companies are doing more than merely enabling these criminals. It seems they are collaborating.
If you drive to a certain location with some level of frequency you will notice the location of the spoofed numbers are in those communities. This goes beyond neighbor spoofing, and suggests some level of information sharing between the robocaller and the phone carrier.
As of January, I started driving to Pleasanton, California every day for work. I also started visiting San Rafael about once month to visit friends who recently moved there.
In the last few months - almost every robocall I get is coming from Pleasanton or San Rafael prefixes.
I quit high tech in 2001 and got my masters in education. I taught science in the East Bay - across from San Francisco.
I ended up going back to high tech. Teaching took too much out of me - emotionally. In no way do I regret the move to teach - it was a vital piece of my growth as a person. Plus, I am still in touch with some of my former students, including a young woman that my wife and I helped get through nursing school.
As I get older I tend to approach things differently - I dare say better? The passion I felt towards technology in my 20s has changed. What I bring to my career in my 40's is more personal and meaningful now. It's about doing good work that I can be proud of with people who treat one another with kindness and respect. It's still important for me to love the products I am are building, but my reasons for loving them are broader than they used to be.
He used to fly little radio controlled helicopters all over our office at Engine Yard. Playful and fun. The real tragedy has little to do with his departure from the world of
technology. The real tragedy is that his son, who must be no older than six, has lost his father. So so sad.
