Airbnb successfully migrated from StatsD to OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) for their billion-series Prometheus metrics pipeline, reducing CPU overhead from 10% to under 1% while improving reliability and enabling advanced Prometheus-native capabilities. The migration required careful handling of high-cardinality metrics through delta temporality for critical services and strategic dual-write approaches for low-friction adoption. This positions Airbnb with a vendor-neutral, CNCF-standard telemetry infrastructure that supports future observability needs while maintaining cost control through streaming aggregation.
