Greg has always had a passion for metrics and observability and is a member of the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation Observability working group. He is the primary maintainer of the Spandex project and contributor to the Erlang/Elixir implementation of the official OpenTelemetry libraries and documentation.
Previously, he has been heavily involved in the Nerves project and community, but that has waned as he hasn't had the opportunity to use it for work in recent years.
Greg currently works at Stord, building the "Cloud Supply Chain."

Living the XKCD 927 Dream with OpenTelemetry 1.0
45 Mins
Talk
Intermediate
Have you ever experienced vendor lock-in from your observability tooling? Don't you wish you could instrument your code once and send telemetry data to multiple vendors to see what their platforms have to offer before signing a contract and investing a lot of engineering time?
The future is now, with OpenTelemetry!
OpenTelemetry has finally reached general availability, with the Erlang and Elixir library leading the way as one of the first official implementations to be compliant with this new industry specification. Now is the time to start thinking about how to get your services instrumented using this exciting new vendor-neutral instrumentation.
This talk will quickly cover the basics you need to know to get started and send data to both open-source tooling and vendor platforms, so that you can get the observability you need, without being locked into a specific vendor's instrumentation library!
