I follow the [gateway deployment pattern](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/collector/deploy/gateway/ https://opentelemetry.io/docs/collector/deploy/gateway/). Everything sends telemetry to our gateway, which exports to ClickHouse (formerly Datadog).
We use Node.js, so all we need to do is run a script initializing Otel before running the app. We set this up following the docs a few years ago, and haven’t had to change it much since then.
