It's great to see Datadog adding agentless OTLP intake now, initially just with metrics and logs. Useful for one shot SDK integrations, but it's also interesting if it'll allow for smaller OTLP exporter only collector deployments in the future. docs.datadoghq.com/opentelemetr...

The classic file descriptor vtable approach was a pretty useful pattern when building user-level CP/R back in the day. It meant we could just swap the FD pointer quickly based on whether it was virtualized or not. oshub.org/projects/ret...

The glue in many of these cases are the bindings built on PyO3. We found it powerful enough to allow us to go from Rust->Python->Rust when building native Python processor integration for Rotel.

The past 7 months @ramond.bsky.social and I have worked on the hypothesis that telemetry data requires a systems approach for high-perf, predictable and resource efficient collection at scale. We're excited to announce our progress so far and hope that the community can join us: dub.sh/A7sI0Tm

Observability shouldn't be a resource hog, that’s why at the end of last year, we started an ambitious new project – Rotel. We’ve been excited to see the rise of OpenTelemetry as a vendor neutral stan...

There's something satisfying about finding and digging out potatoes from the garden. Never know how many are down there and in what condition.

Had a great time sharing rotel.dev at #OpenO11ySummit + #OTelDay with @mike.heffner.io. Blown away by how many people had already heard of it and tried it.

“Yeah we tried it and it was 8x faster than our existing solution”. We thought today was our first official announcement 🤣.

Excellent article on positioning domain engineering between product engineering and infrastructure engineering. I fully agree with the financial model section. However, I prefer to call it ‘platform engineering: the hard parts,’ simply because in the middle, we face more volatile semantics.

Another reason, past cold start times, I'm glad we focused on optimizing our extension initialization time. It would be great if SecretsManager API calls were faster, since that's an often the long pole in the tent for init time. github.com/streamfold/r...

I wanted to write something like this so many times when I was at Netlify! We always decided it was best to not make a fuss. Now I'm not at Netlify, I still believe abstracting the hosting layer via adapters makes for better framework architecture overall, as well as being better for the ecosystem.
