- 7InfoQ·9/29/2026framework_updateAtlassian Rebuilds Metrics Pipeline with OpenTelemetry
Atlassian migrated its metrics platform from gostatsd to OpenTelemetry while serving data from about 100,000 hosts across 14 regions. The change was made without disrupting production alerts, despite the platform’s 99.95% SLO.

A new 2026 survey reports that OpenTelemetry and Prometheus are working together more smoothly in cloud-native observability, with fewer users saying the tools are hard to use in combination. The report also highlights ongoing migration and operational benefits from OpenTelemetry adoption, including Atlassian’s move of metrics collection for about 100,000 hosts and lower CPU and sidecar costs. However, respondents still want better alignment in data models, metadata handling, and naming conventions.
