Our Complimentary Gartner® Report: Hype Cycle™ for Monitoring and Observability, 2025
Telemetry pipelines are gaining mainstream adoption and
Gartner names Bindplane as a Sample Vendor.
In this complimentary reprint, we think you’ll learn how telemetry pipelines and observability-driven development help reduce complexity, improve visibility, and support OpenTelemetry adoption across modern monitoring environments.
Our Facts
- Telemetry pipelines have entered the early mainstream, with adoption between 5%-20% of target organizations.
- Observability-driven development (ODD) is gaining momentum, helping software teams improve issue detection and resolution earlier in the lifecycle.
- Open standards like OpenTelemetry are enabling greater consistency and accessibility for both pipeline management and ODD adoption.
Our Recommendations
- Deploy telemetry pipelines to unify telemetry collection across workloads, reduce agent sprawl, and standardize data transformation before analysis.
- Adopt ODD as a core development practice to proactively instrument applications for visibility, resilience, and faster diagnosis of production anomalies.
- Use OpenTelemetry to support interoperability across observability tools and to reduce reliance on proprietary agents or data formats.
Our Ideas
- Use pipelines to reduce ingest volumes, optimize storage tiers, and manage telemetry routing across multiple destinations.
- Empower developers with telemetry that not only supports debugging, but also feeds compliance, security, and sustainability insights.
- Design observability into systems from the start that are particularly for distributed, embedded, or edge environments where traditional monitoring falls short.
