OpenTelemetry is an open-source project that aims to provide a vendor-neutral, open standard for distributed tracing and metrics collection for cloud-native applications. It provides a set of APIs and libraries for instrumenting applications, as well as a collector and a backend for sending and storing trace and metric data. The goal of OpenTelemetry is to make it easier for developers to collect and analyze performance data from their applications and to help them troubleshoot and optimize their systems.
