Why should I even consider OTel?

OpenTelemetry (OTel) is a comprehensive set of APIs, libraries, and services designed for capturing distributed traces and metrics, which is particularly advantageous for microservices and serverless architectures due to its standard-based telemetry data collection. Supported by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, OTel is rapidly becoming the preferred standard among platform engineers and DevOps professionals, offering a unified API for instrumentation and interoperability across various infrastructure components. Axiom enhances the power of OTel by capturing data at full fidelity without conversion or sampling, allowing for seamless query transformation through its APL language, which is designed to be more intuitive than traditional SQL. This empowers non-technical team members, such as product managers, to perform their own queries without requiring engineering support. Axiom's pricing model starts at $25 per month, ensuring cost-effective access to OTel capabilities without unexpected expenses.
