What Is the Difference Between Being Opentelemetry-Native and Integrating Opentelemetry?

Dash0 is committed to creating an observability platform that is OpenTelemetry-native, meaning it is fundamentally designed around the OpenTelemetry data model and architecture, offering seamless support for its terminology, protocols, and data types. This platform provides comprehensive support for all OpenTelemetry signals, such as logs, metrics, and traces, and enables users to contextualize this data using semantic conventions and resource-centric views. It integrates seamlessly with the cloud-native ecosystem, supports one open query language for all signals, and includes features like health alerting, real-user monitoring, and robust filtering and sampling capabilities. The OpenTelemetry-native approach eliminates the need for additional adapters or bridges, providing users with direct access to rich, standardized telemetry data that is easily navigable and filterable. By using OpenTelemetry as the primary telemetry data source, Dash0 offers significant benefits in terms of context and usability, while integration of OpenTelemetry into non-native systems may require adaptation and could lead to the loss of some contextual features.
