What is the OpenTelemetry Collector?

Description

Day 15 of 30 Days of OTel! We're halfway there 😅 The OpenTelemetry Collector turns observability from “each app sends data everywhere” into “apps send data once, and the Collector handles the rest.” This shift makes it easier to control costs, change backends, and manage telemetry in one place instead of inside every app. Is the Collector part of your setup yet? Or are you still SDK-only?
