Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Proceed with caution

Why
Zero-code protocol-level capture plus first-class GenAI instrumentation is genuinely useful and backed by Grafana/Splunk/Coralogix/Odigos, but v0 instability, privileged Linux-only access, and uneven language-level tracing make it unsafe as a sole observability source today
Next
Pilot OBI as a sidecar/daemonset on a non-critical Linux service to capture RED metrics for Go/Node/Python workloads; pin to a specific semver tag (e.g. v0.9.x), not latest; compare against existing SDK instrumentation before any broad rollout. Re-evaluate at 1.0 GA (late 2026)
