OpenTelemetry Resources Hub

ControlTheory co-founders Jon Reeve (Walter) and Eric Anderson (The Dude) presented at Open Observability Summit + OTel Community Day on June 26 in Denver. Their talk, Taming Metric Cardinality: Practical Cost Reduction with the OpenTelemetry Collector, took a fun but technical deep dive into one of the most critical (and costly) challenges in observability: metric cardinality. Why Metric Cardinality Matters […]

In this RedMonk Conversation, Bob Quillin, CEO and co-founder of ControlTheory, chats with Rachel Stephens, Research Director at RedMonk. They discuss ControlTheory’s launch and the observability landscape including the importance of feedback loops, and how ControlTheory aims to democratize instrumentation through OpenTelemetry. Bob shares insights on integrating with existing observability tools and the target audience […]

In the following sections, you'll discover how the "observability crisis" is not merely a tooling problem, but a deep architectural flaw, and why the rise of intelligent software demands an entirely new approach. We'll delve into the innovative concept of "controllability" and uncover how it transforms passive data collection into active, intelligent command, leading to dramatic cost reductions, enhanced operational efficiency, and a future-proofed telemetry strategy.
