OpenTelemetry Insights

What is OpenTelemetry?

OpenTelemetry is an open-source observability framework providing a set of APIs, SDKs, and tools to collect, process, and export telemetry data (metrics, logs, and traces). It allows you to instrument your applications and infrastructure to generate telemetry data and then export it to various backend systems for analysis and visualization. It is commonly used for performance monitoring, debugging, and understanding the behavior of distributed systems.
