Cloud Computing and DevOps
OpenTelemetry is an open-source observability framework providing a standardized set of APIs, libraries, and tools for collecting metrics, logs, and distributed traces from software systems. Site reliability engineers and backend developers use it to instrument applications for monitoring performance and diagnosing issues across microservices architectures, feeding data into backends like Jaeger, Prometheus, or Datadog.
