In cloud-native environments, understanding the behavior of distributed applications requires complete observability across metrics, logs, and traces. OpenTelemetry has become the standard for data collection, but it still depends on a backend capable of handling all three signals efficiently.
VictoriaMetrics, fully compatible with the Prometheus ecosystem, was designed to ingest and query large volumes of metrics with recognized performance and efficiency. Today, it extends these capabilities to logs and traces, enabling teams to centralize observability in a single open source system.
This session builds on the OpenTelemetry demo to show how signals are collected, stored, and correlated in VictoriaMetrics, then explored in Grafana. Attendees will see how this approach reduces operational complexity and provides a cloud-native, scalable observability stack without reliance on proprietary solutions.
All tools and platforms presented in this talk are open source.
