From PaaS to Observability: Implementing OTel with VictoriaMetrics

Описание: The final piece of the PaaS puzzle is observability. Once the platform is built, the challenge shifts to managing the volume of data generated by distributed services. In our first Tech Talk of 2026, Mathias and Marc discuss the technical path from platform deployment to standardized observability.

We focus on the practical implementation of OpenTelemetry (OTel) and why choosing a high-performance backend is critical to avoiding the "Observability Tax."

Technical Deep Dive:

Full-Stack OTLP: Standardizing on OTLP/gRPC across the board.

The New Pillar: A look at VictoriaTraces (v0.5.0+) and how it integrates with VictoriaMetrics and VictoriaLogs for a unified experience.

Log Security & Compliance: Using the new VictoriaLogs features to delete stored logs and hide sensitive PII fields on a per-query basis.

Metric Metadata: Leveraging the new Prometheus-compatible metadata API in VictoriaMetrics for richer filtering in K8s environments.
