This is our telemetry service - if you are wondering where the name came from

Interesting :smiley:
What kind of data are you collecting with this telemetry service and can I disable it?

Afaik, metrics about API request performance, logs and request/response traces

and yes, you can disable it for OSS Orion: prefect config set PREFECT_ORION_ANALYTICS_ENABLED=false

but for Cloud, we need that to monitor performance and uptime
