OllyGarden

OllyGarden will be at #kubecon + #CloudNativeCon North America, sharing insights about #OpenTelemetry instrumentation quality alongside other leading voices in the field. November 10 - Observability Day Juraci Paixão Kröhling participates in two panels: → "Surviving and Thriving With OpenTelemetry: A Day 2 Operations" With Aleksey Kats (Capital One), Adriel Perkins (W.W. Grainger) and Myrle Krantz (Grafana Labs) → "There's a Lot of Bad Telemetry Out There" With Dan Gomez Blanco (New Relic) November 11 at 4:15 PM → "Instrumentation Score: The Difference Between Telemetry and Good Telemetry" With Michele Mancioppi (dash0) Find us in the schedule: https://lnkd.in/dyk538f We'll be there. It will be a pleasure to exchange experiences about telemetry quality and #OpenTelemetry. #Observability #OTel #kubecon #CNCF

Ending the week reading this newsletter from Observability 360 about our  project at OllyGarden. Thanks for the recognition. Great to see our mission of improving #OpenTelemetry quality resonating. We keep working to expand our impact on telemetry quality. #OpenTelemetry #Observability #TelemetryQuality

OllyGarden Rose 🌹 combines: the business context that comes from source code access, plus the ease of auto-instrumentation. Install Rose in your GitHub organization and it immediately starts reviewing pull requests, helping engineers improve their instrumentation. It doesn't just flag issues. It explains why something matters, so teams actually learn what good instrumentation looks like. And when teams disagree? Rose adapts to their preferences over time.

Some people know this already, but I'm not a huge fan of eBPF or auto-instrumentation agents. They grab telemetry wholesale without business context. A `GET /health` check and a `POST /v1/payments` endpoint look identical to eBPF, even though one matters infinitely more for your business. Manual instrumentation gives you control, but leads to over-instrumented applications with inconsistent patterns across teams. OllyGarden Rose (research preview) combines the best of both approaches: the business context that comes from source code access, plus the ease of auto-instrumentation. Install Rose in your GitHub organization and it immediately starts reviewing pull requests, helping engineers improve their instrumentation. It doesn't just flag issues. It explains why something matters, so teams actually learn what good instrumentation looks like. And when teams disagree? Rose adapts to their preferences over time. Nicolas Wörner published a detailed post yesterday about the specific problems Rose solves and where we're taking it: https://lnkd.in/d54x2_zh Want to join our research preview? Get in touch.

Manual instrumentation takes time and mistakes are expensive. Today, we are introducing Rose 🌹, our AI agent designed to facilitate the manual instrumentation process by reducing engineering time. Rose operates as a code review bot in your GitHub pipelines, analyzing #OpenTelemetry instrumentation changes and providing actionable feedback based on best practices before code reaches production. What do you get: - Automated review of instrumentation code in pull requests - Actionable feedback that identifies issues and suggests improvements - Clear explanations and examples with every comment - Consistent OpenTelemetry standards enforced across teams - Customizable to reflect your organization's specific practice Join the research preview for free access. Limited spots. OllyGarden Rose is available now: https://lnkd.in/dwU6qVTY #opentelemetry #observability #ollygarden

This time, Yuri O. Oliveira is taking the stage to represent OllyGarden! 🚀 Yuri Oliveira shares the stage with Juliano Costa from Datadog at KCD Porto. We'll be presenting the session: "Crash-Proofing Your OpenTelemetry Collector". If you work with observability, you know the Collector is a vital piece of the architecture. But... what if it fails? That means data loss, a lack of visibility, and a lot of stress. In this 30-minute talk, we'll get straight to the point and show strategies and best practices for building a robust, crash-proof telemetry pipeline. Join us: 📅 When: Monday, 03/11 • 10:10 AM 📍 Where: Room D. Maria ⏰ Duration: 30 min Hope to see you there to exchange ideas!

The missing link between your OpenTelemetry Collector and dedicated support. Tulip provides assistance and support from engineers who ensure fast issue resolution across environments with multiple vendors, backends, and trackers, backend neutral. We maintain, validate, and support a managed distribution that keeps your telemetry pipeline stable and reliable. Stay tuned! OllyGarden Tulip is live 🌷 → Learn more: https://olly.garden/tulip #OpenTelemetry #Observability #OTelCollector #OllyGarden #TulipCollector #DevOps

Vibe Instrumenting Your Microservices Part 2 In our last session, Adriel Perkins and Juraci Paixão Kröhling discussed the idea behind using custom instrumentation agents and the OpenTelemetry Instrumentation MCP server - and how they can help improve the quality and consistency of your service instrumentation. Now, it’s time to put that theory into practice. In Part 2, we’ll take those idea and apply them live. We’ll explore how and why to establish and maintain your own internal telemetry convention registry using AI, and then bring it all together in a hands-on live demo that integrates those conventions into a real microservice with the help of coding agents. 🗓 22 October 2025 🕔 15:00 CEST / 9:00 AM ET Hosted by Nicolas Wörner

Stability or Freedom? With the OpenTelemetry Collector, you shouldn't have to choose. Today, we are introducing OllyGarden Tulip 🌷, our open-source, commercially supported distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector that provides long-term stability while maintaining your backend neutrality. What do you get? - Stable Base: Pre-built and tested container images. - Guaranteed Support: Bug fixes and security updates (CVEs) for your version. - Zero Backend Lock-in: Full neutrality for your backend. - Customizable: Add the components you need and maintain support. OllyGarden Tulip is available now. Visit our website for more information: https://olly.garden/tulip #otel #opentelemetry #observability #ollygarden
