Opentelemetry vs Prometheus

The application cases of Prometheus are more limited than OpenTelemetry

[{"selector":"#anim-d5e0fcfe-b60e-4bcb-ae5a-390fa171ecef","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-666a45d1-9867-4521-90f5-6c615142791f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-38.2474783148533%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Automated instrumentation models make OTel more scalable and extensible than the Prometheus

[{"selector":"#anim-7701e011-f4f8-4364-a02c-2904bfb01ab9","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-3b33ac88-5e42-44f9-bbb5-37dcedf0784e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-35.302419265654365%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Prometheus calculates cumulative measurements as a total, whereas OpenTelemetry uses deltas

[{"selector":"#anim-f4e1d85e-46a0-499e-92ba-6a9914b1cf2b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.97222%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-aa5582cd-202b-4d26-9ebe-bad94dfee809","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4f75c5b3-7783-4a56-a48f-00920aca80ab [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-29.389312852034386%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

OTel represents metric values as integers instead of floating-point numbers, which are more precise and understandable

[{"selector":"#anim-80345f91-ecbd-45d9-83e6-fa0872f4eb1a","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-aeaa212d-1764-4dd6-844e-b62c68916d8e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.249999904429615%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Prometheus may be suited for monitoring specific systems or processes using alerting, storage, and visualisation models

[{"selector":"#anim-cb8ae6be-1762-45d3-b587-0bc5a6d7d649","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(125.93984%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-90b362dc-e0b1-4968-b95f-4a26ebe991e6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-78303da4-8734-4e21-b518-183ccfbe3e75","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-da6d390a-5451-4d68-a357-8decae55f76f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-38.2474783148533%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

These capabilities reduce application downtime, improve performance, and enhance user experience

[{"selector":"#anim-03e6a4be-80e0-4847-a855-21fc1420b247","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(116.60778%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8e458fc6-456d-47cb-a40b-9cee0dc1c085","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5d204c1b-650c-46ff-b121-9bfeff957563 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-35.21169345865223%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

This lets developers chose their analysis tools and avoids vendor or back-end lock-in
