As part of an ongoing series, the Developer Experience SIG interviews organizations about their real-world OpenTelemetry Collector deployments to share practical lessons with the broader community. This post features Adobe, a global software company whose observability team has built an OpenTelemetry-based telemetry pipeline designed for simplicity at massive scale, with thousands of collectors running per signal type across the company’s infrastructure.
Organizational structure
Adobe’s central observability team is responsible for providing observability infrastructure across the company. However, as Bogdan Stancu, Senior Software Engineer, explained, Adobe’s history of acquisitions means the landscape is not fully consolidated. Some large product groups have their own dedicated observability teams, while the central team serves as the primary provider.
