I'm curious as to what do you mean by "lump every problem into the same bucket"?

As a backender and half platform engineer I appreciate OTel a lot, it allows me to install OTel ingesting code and it then gets sent to wherever our platform guys and girls think it's best. It allows me to only think about it once and leave the details to the people who have to maintain the infra.

I mean sure, parts (or maybe all?) of the problems in this area have other solutions i.e. we don't use OTel for logging because we already have Grafana + Loki and basically everything every app outputs in stdout / stderr gets captured and can be queried but I like the flexibility for us to fully migrate to all aspects of OTel one day if the scales tilt in another direction.

So what's your beef with all this?

(For the record, I used Sentry many times in the past and I loved it, it's a very no-BS product that I appreciated a lot -- and it adding OTel ingester / collector I viewed as something very positive.)
