OpenTelemetry Services — The Vendor-Neutral Standard for Telemetry
OpenTelemetry is the foundation for vendor-independent observability. Apto helps organisations instrument, deploy and operate their OTel infrastructure — giving you complete control over your telemetry data and freedom to choose any backend.
OpenTelemetry Platform Expertise
From auto-instrumentation to production-grade Collector clusters, Apto delivers the full spectrum of OpenTelemetry services for vendor-neutral observability.
🔎
OTel Instrumentation
Auto and manual instrumentation for Java, .NET, Python, Go and Node.js. Distributed tracing, metrics and log correlation across your entire service landscape — giving you full-stack visibility without vendor lock-in.
⚙️
Collector Architecture
Deployment patterns for every environment: agent, gateway and sidecar. Pipeline design for receiving, processing and exporting telemetry with fault tolerance, load balancing and high availability built in.
🔗
OTLP Integration
Connect any OTLP-compatible backend. Multi-destination routing, protocol translation and vendor migration support. Instrument once, export anywhere — Grafana, Splunk, Datadog or your own custom stack.
🚀
OTel at Scale
High-availability Collector clusters, head and tail-based sampling strategies, resource management and cost-efficient telemetry pipelines. We design OTel architectures that handle enterprise-grade volumes without breaking the bank.
Filling the Operator Gap for OpenTelemetry
24/7 Collector health monitoring, pipeline throughput management and continuous improvement — without the overhead of building an in-house OTel platform team.
Operate Core
Continuous, independent monitoring of your OTel infrastructure with daily analyst-reviewed reporting. We watch Collector health, pipeline throughput, SDK instrumentation coverage and export success rates — so nothing falls through the cracks.
Operate Attach
Targeted engineering support for your OTel backlog. New service instrumentation, Collector scaling, sampling optimisation, backend migration and exporter configuration — delivered in prioritised sprints.
The Operate + Build Virtuous Cycle
Operations insight drives continuous platform improvement. What we observe in Operate Core — failed exports, dropped spans, uninstrumented services — feeds directly into engineering priorities, creating a cycle where your OTel platform gets better every month.

OpenTelemetry in Action
Real outcomes from Apto’s OpenTelemetry engagements.
Observability Platform Build — Regulated Fintech
FINTECH / CAPITAL MARKETS
A UK-regulated capital markets platform running on AWS EKS needed unified observability across multi-region Kubernetes clusters. Apto designed and deployed an OpenTelemetry-based observability stack with traces, metrics and logs, delivering full-stack visibility while meeting stringent regulatory data governance requirements.
Vendor Independence Strategy
VENDOR INDEPENDENCE
An enterprise organisation wanted to eliminate vendor lock-in across their observability stack. Apto implemented OTel-based instrumentation across all services, enabling the organisation to evaluate and switch observability backends without re-instrumentation — reducing migration risk to near zero.
