What it shows

  • Local collectors offload compression and retry logic from application pods.
  • Central gateway collectors manage authentication, sampling, and routing.
  • Reduces outbound network overhead and shields backends from telemetry spikes.

The takeaway

Combine agent sidecars with centralized gateways for resilient and cost-effective observability.
