Trace your applications end to end with Datadog and OpenTelemetry

Datadog has announced full support for OpenTelemetry (OTel) Tracing APIs, enabling the collection, processing, and visualization of unbroken end-to-end traces in Datadog through OTel. This allows users to maintain vendor-neutral instrumentation while still accessing powerful Datadog products like Continuous Profiler and Data Streams Monitoring that draw upon tracing data. Additionally, the support for OTel allows customers to leverage OTel integrations to access tracing frameworks not yet natively supported by Datadog. The integration of vendor-neutral tracing with the broader capabilities of the Datadog platform is expected to improve performance optimization and troubleshooting in applications.
