Observability 2.0 with OpenTelemetry: Make Signals Work Together

Observability got bigger than “three pillars” and a dashboard. Observability 2.0 is about correlation, not merely collection, so teams can ask meaningful questions and get useful answers.

In this Thunder episode, Whitney Lee and guest Adriana Villela discuss how the OpenTelemetry model aligns signals into one story across the software development lifecycle. They walk through a practical flow: instrument code first, let QA use telemetry (or ask for more), add trace-based testing for integration checks, and help SREs anchor SLIs/SLOs to traces so incidents stop feeling like needle-in-a-haystack hunts. They also show why CI/CD should emit telemetry and where today’s tooling stands.
