About this session
According to the 2025 Grafana Labs Observability Survey, 70% of all respondents are using both Prometheus and OpenTelemetry in some capacity, with 34% using them in production environments. That’s why Grafana Alloy, the open source distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector that we introduced at GrafanaCON last year, is focused on bringing together the best of OTel and Prometheus for a truly optimized hybrid experience. In this session, Grafana Labs’ Ted Young and Johanna Öjeling provide a demo of how Alloy delivers a distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector and a high-performance Prometheus pipeline in a single binary deployment; the debugging workflows; and the performance and cost savings users have seen running it at scale.
