Telemetry Pipelines and Gateways

Learn how a central telemetry pipeline collects, processes, and routes observability data, and why a gateway decouples producers from backends.

Why a Telemetry Pipeline?

As an observability platform grows, sending data straight from apps to backends becomes brittle. A telemetry pipeline sits in the middle to collect, transform, and route data reliably.

The Gateway Pattern

A telemetry gateway is a central tier of collectors that all apps send to. It decouples producers from backends so either side can change independently.

apps -> gateway collectors -> backends
