Better Stack drops eBPF auto-instrumentation for OpenTelemetry tracing
Better Stack Tracing combines eBPF auto-instrumentation with OpenTelemetry, enabling teams to gather traces, logs, and metrics without changing application code. The release highlights a remotely controlled collector and automatic database instrumentation for unified observability workflows.
Zero-code instrumentation is becoming table stakes for observability, and combining eBPF with OpenTelemetry positions Better Stack as a frictionless option for developers. eBPF removes the need to manually instrument application code, drastically reducing onboarding time. Leveraging OpenTelemetry ensures standard, vendor-agnostic data collection across the stack, and automatic database instrumentation gives immediate visibility into a common performance bottleneck.
