OpenTelemetry Deep Dive: Resilience & High Availability in the OTel Collector
Join us for a 60-minute technical deep dive into building resilient, high-availability telemetry pipelines using the OpenTelemetry Collector. We’ll explore the Agent–Gateway deployment pattern for OpenTelemetry Collectors, load balancing options (Nginx and the loadbalancing exporter), and resilience features like batching, retries, and persistent queues. Through live Docker and Kubernetes demos, you’ll learn how to keep telemetry flowing during outages, rolling upgrades, and traffic spikes — and how Bindplane simplifies configuration and scaling at any size.

Catch the full recording of OpenTelemetry Deep Dive: Resilience & High Availability in the OTel Collector — a 1-hour workshop on building telemetry pipelines that never drop a signal.
We’ll show you why resilience matters, how to design high-availability architectures, and how to configure the OpenTelemetry Collector with retries, batching, and persistent queues. Plus, you’ll see live demos in both Docker and Kubernetes — including scaling Gateway collectors with an HPA — and how Bindplane makes large-scale management seamless.
In this session you’ll learn:
✅ The Agent–Gateway pattern for resilient pipelines
✅ Load balancing options: Nginx vs the loadbalancing exporter
✅ How retries, persistent queues, and batching prevent data loss
✅ Docker demo: HA Collector setup with Nginx
✅ Kubernetes demo: Gateway auto-scaling with HPA
✅ How Bindplane simplifies fleet-wide collector management
Whether you’re just starting with OpenTelemetry or running production workloads, this deep dive gives you the strategies and configs to keep telemetry flowing during outages, upgrades, and traffic spikes.
