## Full Agenda:

👉 From Blind Spots to Clarity: OpenTelemetry Success Stories | Lior Amouyal, Check Point

Join us as we share our production war stories and unveil how OpenTelemetry transformed our application monitoring and debugging.

Discover how this powerful tool uncovered hidden issues, supercharged troubleshooting, and enabled data-driven decisions in our projects.

Plus, we'll introduce you to Tempo, an open-source distributed tracing backend from Grafana Labs. It's not only free and easy to deploy, but it's also a great overall alternative to other tracing solutions.

👉 OpenTelemetry Deployment for On-Prem Environment | Idan Reuven, Applied Materials

In this session, we will explore Applied Materials' experience deploying the OpenTelemetry collector in an on-prem environment.

We'll explore the critical decision between Gateway, Agent, or a hybrid approach, and uncover the invaluable lessons learned, particularly around trace sampling.

If you find yourself navigating the complexities of deploying OpenTelemetry in an air-gaped environment, this session serves as a shortcut for your decision-making process.

You'll leave with a comprehensive understanding of your options and potential strategies for your journey.
