Migrating a SaaS Platform to OpenTelemetry Without Downtime

3x
Faster Detection

The Challenge

A fast-growing SaaS platform with 200+ microservices needed to migrate from proprietary instrumentation to OpenTelemetry — without disrupting their 99.99% uptime SLA or overwhelming their engineering teams.

Our Approach

We designed a phased migration strategy using the OTEL Collector as a bridge, enabling dual-write during transition. Custom processors preserved existing dashboards while enabling new capabilities. We trained 8 platform teams to self-serve.

Results

  • Zero-downtime migration across 200+ services
  • 3x improvement in incident detection time
  • 8 teams trained and self-sufficient within 6 weeks
  • Vendor-neutral architecture enabling future flexibility
