Atlassian Rebuilds Metrics Pipeline Around OpenTelemetry at Massive Scale

Software company Atlassian has published an account of its migration from gostatsd to OpenTelemetry, replacing the internal workings of a metrics platform that receives data from about 100,000 hosts across 14 regions. The existing service had a 99.95% SLO, so the team had to change the platform without disrupting the metrics used by production alerts.
