There’s a moment in the adoption of every technology when it crosses from “the smart teams are using it” to “everyone uses it by default.” For OpenTelemetry, that moment happened somewhere around mid-2025.

In early 2025, the term “vibe coding” swept through developer Twitter. The pitch was irresistible: stop worrying about the details, just describe what you want, and let AI figure out the implementation. Ship fast. Iterate faster. Who cares if you don’t fully understand every line?

There’s a dirty secret about Kubernetes that nobody talks about at KubeCon: most clusters are wildly over-provisioned, and most engineering teams have no idea what their workloads actually cost.
If you’ve spent any time building AI-powered applications in the last year, you’ve probably run into the same problem dozens of times: every tool, every data source, every external service needs its own custom integration. Your AI assistant needs to talk to your database? Write an adapter. It needs to call your APIs? Write another one. Search your files? Yet another bespoke connector.
