We’re kicking off a brand-new Grafana OpenTelemetry Community Call! Join us as we dive into getting observability into your apps and infrastructure with Grafana, powered by OpenTelemetry. In this session, we’ll dive into Declarative Config — the new way to make OpenTelemetry onboarding simple and powerful. Instead of juggling environment variables or boilerplate in your startup code, declarative config gives you a clean, language-agnostic approach that works across SDKs and unlocks future possibilities like remote configuration. Join us with Marylia Gutierrez (OTel JavaScript approver & core contributor) to explore.

Leadership is about more than telling people what to do. It’s about inspiring belief in your vision for the future. Sometimes there’s a delay between the time you share the vision and when the rest of the team “gets it”.
