How to build an OSS Observability Stack with VictoriaMetrics and OpenTelemetry - stackconf

Building a reliable observability stack often means juggling multiple tools, complex integrations, and the risk of vendor lock-in. OpenTelemetry has standardized the way we collect telemetry data, but choosing the right backend for metrics, logs, and traces can still be overwhelming.

Aggregating Metrics In-Flight: Challenges and Opportunities - stackconf

As Kubernetes environments scale, observability costs and performance challenges grow with them. One common strategy to improve Prometheus query performance is recording rules, but these come at a cost—additional compute, storage, and latency. What if we could aggregate metrics before they even reach the TSDB?

🚀 VictoriaMetrics is heading to https://stackconf.eu 2026 in #Munich as a Bronze Sponsor!
From CI/CD and containers to hybrid and cloud-native systems, StackConf brings together people who care about sustainable, real-world DevOps – instead of polished sales stories.

Why it works:
🍾 You expose bottlenecks at real scale
⤴️You validate performance and correctness early
🔓 You unblock #dashboards and #alerts with real data
💎 You solve the hard problems first, without worrying about user adoption yet
That’s exactly what #Airbnb
did when migrating its high-volume metrics pipeline to #OpenTelemetry and vmagent.

Curious how to apply this in your own stack? Learn more in this article 👇

When migrating to a new #monitoring system, most teams focus on dashboards and alerts first.
A better approach?
👉 #Frontload metric collection
Get all your metrics flowing into the new system as early as possible.

AI might feel like a trend right now, but the real value comes from mastering the fundamentals 🤖
In this short, our Developer Advocate @dianatodea sits down with Xavki to break down why going deep on core AI concepts matters more than chasing every new tool 🚀

If you're building in #AI #MachineLearning #DataScience, this is a perspective worth keeping in mind

Last month, Zhu Jiekun gave a talk on retroactive sampling at #KubeCon Europe 2026.
In this blog post, we explain how retroactive sampling reduces outbound traffic, CPU, and memory usage in the data collection pipeline significantly compared to tail sampling in #OpenTelemetry.
If you're working with observability at scale, this is worth a closer look.
