OpenTelemetry is a standardized framework for generating and processing telemetry data. It supports distributed tracing, observability, and offers a variety of SDKs for continuous profiling, instrumentation, and exporting. It allows for standardized data collection without vendor lock-in. However, there may be potential overhead, limited support for packages without auto-instrumentation, a learning curve, and it is still an early-stage project.
