Our first repeat guest ever, Austin Parker, Principal Developer Advocate at Lightstep, talks about OpenTelemetry: an observability framework for cloud-native software that is a collection of tools, APIs, and SDKs. You use it to instrument, generate, collect, and export telemetry data (metrics, logs, and traces) for analysis to understand your software's performance and behavior.

The OpenTelemetry specification is now in 1.0! What does this mean?

It means we've achieved a major milestone in defining the observability framework for cloud-native applications, and that production-ready 1.0 releases of OpenTelemetry libraries will start being released over the next weeks and months! 🎉
