Datadog's commitment to OpenTelemetry and the open source community

The OpenTelemetry (OTel) project aims to provide vendor-neutral standards and tools for collecting telemetry data from any source in an environment and sending it to any backend. Datadog, a company that offers a unified observability platform, has been actively contributing to the OTel project since its inception. Over the past six months, Datadog has built a dedicated team to develop support for OpenTelemetry, including general availability of OTLP ingest and exporters, as well as improvements to trace context support and infrastructure monitoring. The company is also preparing to roll out support for OTel runtime metrics and additional improvements to its OTel product and feature support. Datadog remains committed to supporting OpenTelemetry and actively engages with the community to contribute back upstream to improve the project for everyone.
