Had a great time sharing rotel.dev at #OpenO11ySummit + #OTelDay with @mike.heffner.io. Blown away by how many people had already heard of it and tried it.
“Yeah we tried it and it was 8x faster than our existing solution”. We thought today was our first official announcement 🤣.

If you go to a fancy restaurant and they have fried chicken on the menu, you should probably order it. The head chef has likely seen some shit and now just wants to make people happy.
