I'm leaving with much more knowledge than I expected." ![Ezequiel de Souza Barros](https://telemetrydrops.com/testimonials/ezequiel.webp) ### Ezequiel de Souza Barros Observability Specialist at PagBank > "The course goes far beyond theory. From observability fundamentals to advanced topics like manual instrumentation, OpenTelemetry Operator, and understanding the OTel API - each module has direct application in my daily work. Every day I use something I learned, whether implementing the Collector at scale, adjusting telemetry pipelines, or helping other teams with instrumentation. This course is transforming my mindset about observability and how to apply it practically for real-world results." ![Kaio Fonseca](https://telemetrydrops.com/testimonials/kaio.webp) ### Kaio Fonseca AIOps Specialist at Bradesco > "Working in AIOps, I needed deep OpenTelemetry knowledge for our implementation. After taking several courses that only scratched the surface, I discovered Dose de Telemetria on YouTube. Just one video showed me the content was far richer than any course I'd taken. When I found out about your course, I knew immediately I'd found exactly what I was looking for. The content is incredible!" ## Connect with Us Follow us for updates, tips, and the latest content on OpenTelemetry [Subscribe on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@TelemetryDrops) [Follow on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/telemetrydrops) ## Questions about Telemetry Drops ### What does Telemetry Drops offer, and who is it for?
