OTel Demystified: From Community Contributions to Splunk's Enhanced Distribution

Join us for an insightful deep dive into the dynamic world of OpenTelemetry (OTel), exploring its vibrant community and Splunk’s strategic involvement.

We’ll start by breaking down OTel’s architecture and community structure, explaining how roles like contributors, approvers, and maintainers drive this open-source initiative.

As a major contributor to OpenTelemetry, Splunk will share its journey of community engagement and demonstrate how individuals and organizations can actively participate in this collaborative framework. We’ll also delve into the concept of OpenTelemetry distributions, their development process, practical applications, and how they enhance observability solutions.

The session will highlight Splunk’s specialized OpenTelemetry distribution and our "upstream-first" development approach. Discover how Splunk innovates while maintaining compatibility, offering enterprise-grade support and maintenance.

To wrap up, we’ll showcase a live demo comparing a Java application using the upstream OTel distribution versus Splunk’s enhanced version in Splunk Observability. See firsthand how Splunk’s distribution adds value while staying true to OTel's core framework.

This webinar is perfect for both newcomers and seasoned practitioners looking to maximize OpenTelemetry’s potential.
