# Which API marketplace integrates with OpenTelemetry and Splunk for real-time observability while meeting compliance?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Real-time observability across hundreds of APIs only works if the tracing data actually reaches the tools a team already uses for monitoring and compliance. Here's what reviewers in the <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/api-marketplace">API Marketplace category</a> say about that specific integration:</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/datadog/reviews"><strong>Datadog</strong></a>: Reviewers cite native OpenTelemetry support as a core strength, with tracing data flowing in without custom instrumentation work.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/mulesoft-anypoint-platform/reviews"><strong>MuleSoft Anypoint Platform</strong></a>: Reviewers describe exporting API metrics to external observability and SIEM tools, including Splunk, though several note the integration takes real configuration.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/ibm-api-connect/reviews"><strong>IBM API Connect</strong></a>: Reviewers cite strong compliance and audit logging, with observability export treated as a secondary feature to its governance strength.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For teams that need both OpenTelemetry tracing and Splunk-based compliance logging from the same API layer, has anyone actually run both simultaneously without a performance tradeoff?</p>

&lt;p&gt;On the performance question: the trap is treating tracing and compliance logging as one stream, because they need opposite guarantees. Traces can be sampled, since observability survives on a fraction of requests; compliance records cannot, since an audit trail with gaps isn&#39;t one. Emitting both from the same layer works fine when the gateway separates the paths, sampled traces out one side and complete logs out the other, and degrades when someone runs full-fidelity tracing to satisfy audit, which is where the performance stories come from. The design question beats the product question here.&lt;/p&gt;
