Level 1 | Hall Entrance N10 | Room G

OpenTelemetry isn't just an amazing set of tools and standards for observability - it's a useful ecosystem that's helped Wolters Kluwer to evolve our company from a monitoring strategy based on tool proliferation to an observability strategy with fewer, more purpose-specific tools.

In this session, you'll learn about Wolters Kluwer's 3-year journey to address high mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR) by adopting an observability strategy based on OpenTelemetry. We'll cover the technical tradeoffs for how we transitioned our portfolio of monolith and microservice applications from vendor-locked tools to open standards and a narrowed tool selection. We'll review challenges we encountered along the way, and how our platform-as-a-product mindset is helping to drive adoption of these open standards across the organization and improving our MTTR.
