About OpenTelemetry

OpenTelemetry is an incubating project under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Born from the merger of OpenTracing and OpenCensus projects, it is a vibrant community-driven effort dedicated to creating open standards and implementing software for observability data generation and collection.

OpenTelemetry provides multiple implementations such as opentelemetry-go and opentelemetry-cpp. These offerings are freely available under the Apache-2.0 license, enabling developers to trace, instrument, collect, and export telemetry data effortlessly. The project also offers OpenTelemetry Collector, which acts as a unified collector for various exporters and receivers.

The community around OpenTelemetry is active, with multiple repositories contributing to its development. These include the opentelemetry-specification repository where specifications for OpenTelemetry are defined, and oteps for proposing enhancements. As of the current update, there are several open issues across these repositories requiring assistance from developers.

OpenTelemetry's mission is to establish a standardized approach towards generating, collecting, and exporting observability data. By offering flexible APIs and SDKs, they empower developers to easily integrate telemetry into their applications without being tied to specific vendors or platforms. This neutrality ensures that users maintain control over their own data, while also enjoying the benefits of a rich ecosystem built around open standards.
