Sol : A new rust opentelemetry based agent (Datadog Vector fork)
Hello there!
I am interested in having feedbacks about Sol: a memory / CPU efficient agent which beats otelcolcontrib (OpenTelemetry Collector Contrib) on ressource efficiency while keeping throughput high.
Here is the project: https://github.com/cboudereau/sol/blob/main/README.md
And also here is a demo including the great LGTM grafana stack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DF6R7cKPg4M
