OpenTelemetry is an open-source observability framework that provides visibility into applications and infrastructure, enabling quick issue diagnosis and resolution. It's a powerful tool for organizations building complex software applications, offering standardized approaches to collecting telemetry data from metrics, traces, and logs. By using OpenTelemetry in Python, developers can automate the process of generating telemetry data, reducing manual configuration and code changes required for instrumentation. This allows for more consistent and standardized collection of telemetry data across different applications and frameworks. With its support for automatic and manual instrumentation, multiple languages, and telemetry data types, OpenTelemetry provides a flexible observability solution that helps organizations improve the reliability and performance of their distributed systems.
