OpenTelemetry-native
Take control of your telemetry and its cost.
HeadTel creates an observability blueprint and generates OpenTelemetry-native instrumentation aligned to your system and business goals.
THE PROBLEM
Observability is expensive when it's wrong and invisible when it's right.
Signal vs Noise
Most companies collect too much and too little observability data.
No Ownership
Instrumentation is unmanaged and unowned.
Cost Drag
Poor telemetry inflates Observability spend and slows decisions.
Never Now
Fixing it is never the top priority.
What HeadTel does
We get your telemetry right.
We define what should be observed before data is collected.
We find and fix bad and missing instrumentation, purifying your telemetry source.
We make implementing and managing OTel fast and easy.
HeadTel provides visibility and control to manage observability costs.
