This article provides an overview of OpenTelemetry, an open-source observability framework, and guides on integrating it with Go applications. It covers key concepts like logs, metrics, and traces, and demonstrates setting up a reusable telemetry package using OpenTelemetry in Go.
OpenTelemetry offers a standardized process for observability, but its functionality is a work in progress. Its usefulness depends on the observability tools and platforms used in conjunction with OpenTelemetry.
