Datadog + OpenTracing: Embracing the open standard for APM

Datadog has announced support for OpenTracing, a vendor-neutral standard for distributed tracing. The company's Go tracer now supports OpenTracing, and other tracing clients will follow soon. Datadog is also joining the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and the OpenTracing Specification Council to contribute to the evolution of the standard. Adopting OpenTracing enables customers to tap into deep request-level visibility without vendor lock-in or costly code changes. Datadog's support for OpenTracing allows users to easily integrate with other tracing backends, while joining the CNCF and OpenTracing Specification Council ensures customer voices are heard as the standard evolves. With this announcement, Datadog invites users to start a free trial to explore full-stack monitoring with distributed tracing and APM built on open instrumentation.
