I keep checking in on OpenTelemetry every few months to see if the bits we need are stable yet. There’s been very little progress on the things we’re waiting for.
I don’t follow closely enough to comment on possible causes.
What I do know is that the surface area of code and infrastructure that telemetry touches means adopting something unfinished is a big leap of faith.
- phillipcarter 2y agoWhat pieces are you looking to be stable (and what's your definition of stable)? Asking because some pieces, like the Collector, aren't technically a stable 1.0 yet, but the bar for stability is extremely high, and in practice it's far more stable than most software out there. But there are other pieces, such as a language's support for a specific concept, that are truly experimental or even still in-development.
