How We Achieved a 40x Speedup with Custom Codegen for OTTL

In the observability space, many assume that OpenTelemetry Collector performance scales linearly—until it doesn't. This talk reveals the critical performance limits that practitioners encounter in real-world deployments, especially at scale, and highlights the blind spots that traditional telemetry metrics often miss.

We demonstrate how to diagnose and prevent high-throughput pipeline failures using latency histogram analysis, external HAProxy sidecars, and advanced profiling. These insights benefit both collector developers and platform engineers who manage telemetry pipelines across organizations.
