Grafana Labs is heavily investing in OpenTelemetry, an open-source project rapidly becoming a standard for vendor-neutral telemetry in observability, as highlighted during GrafanaCON 2025. The company's commitment to open source is evident in its contributions to OpenTelemetry, including the launch of Grafana Beyla, an eBPF-based instrumentation tool, now part of the OpenTelemetry project. OpenTelemetry's significance lies in its ability to allow developers to instrument applications once and use that data across various observability tools without re-instrumenting, promoting vendor neutrality and standardized data representation through Semantic Conventions. Grafana Labs is integrating OpenTelemetry into its products, such as Grafana Alloy, which combines OpenTelemetry and Prometheus for optimized telemetry collection and management. The compatibility between Prometheus and OpenTelemetry is also improving, with Prometheus 3.0 supporting native OpenTelemetry metrics, reflecting the significant overlap in their user communities. Grafana Labs continues to contribute to the OpenTelemetry community through SDK maintenance, Prometheus integration, and advancing projects like OpenTelemetry Profiling, Browser, and Mobile projects, aiming for comprehensive, automated observability.
