Telemetry Showdown: Fluent Bit Vs. OpenTelemetry Collector - a Comprehensive Benchmark Analysis - Henrik Rexed, Dynatrace

In a push to standardize observability practices, the cloud-native community has embraced OpenTelemetry, offering a unified framework for metrics, logs, and traces. Prior to this, log processing relied on agents like fluent, evolving into fluentbit. With fluentbit's recent expansion to support additional signals and the OpenTelemetry Collector's emergence, a pertinent question arises: Which is the superior choice for performance? This session delves into: - Unveiling the distinctions between Fluent Bit and the OpenTelemetry Collector. - Sharing the findings derived from a series of benchmark tests. - Providing valuable insights to empower the community in selecting the most fitting agent for their cloud-native environments.
