Features

✨ Language Agnostic Auto-instrumentation

Odigos supports any application written in Java, Python, .NET, Node.js, and Go. Historically, compiled languages like Go have been difficult to instrument without code changes. Odigos solves this problem by uniquely leveraging eBPF.

🤝 Keep your existing observability tools

Odigos currently supports all the popular managed and open-source destinations. By producing data in the OpenTelemetry format, Odigos can be used with any observability tool that supports OTLP.
