OpenTelemetry is an open-source observability framework that helps developers understand how applications behave internally. It was formed by merging the OpenTracing and OpenCensus projects to provide a unified standard for observability and tracing. OpenTelemetry enables the collection of telemetry data such as traces, metrics, and logs, making it easier to identify application errors, performance bottlenecks, and slow requests. Learn OpenTelemetry through expert-led training and hands-on projects to build practical observability skills for DevOps, SRE, and Cloud Engineering roles.
