Roman Gushko has a gorgeous post up that details the OpenTelemetry Collector.

It goes over the purpose of the collector, its architecture (deeper than I’ve seen before! these are parts I didn’t know existed), its own instrumentation, troubleshooting, extensions, architecture of extensions, authentication — wow! And all in pretty fonts with elegant drawings!
Beautiful!
