However, they take slightly different approaches, and making both projects work well together has been challenging. In this talk, Arthur and Juraj, both active contributors to Prometheus and OpenTelemetry communities, will present all the usual frustrations that a user would face when integrating Prometheus and OTel, and all the work done by the OpenTelemetry-Prometheus SIG (Special Interest Group) in the past year to transform Prometheus+OTel into a love story. You'll leave this session understanding the core philosophical differences between the two projects that make interoperability so difficult, the progress made to improve the situation, and what to expect in the near future.
