OpenTelemetry-Go provides a comprehensive Go implementation for measuring and monitoring software performance. It enables detailed insights into application behavior by utilizing distributed traces and metrics, sending telemetry data to multiple observability platforms. The project ensures system compatibility with current Go versions and supports environments like Ubuntu, macOS, and Windows. With stable support for traces and metrics, and a beta logging feature, developers can instrument applications using official libraries and exporters to enhance performance insights.

The project offers a wide range of instrumentations for Go, supporting metrics, traces, and logs with packages like database/sql, GORM, and sqlx. Designed to align with OpenTelemetry standards, it enhances application observability and simplifies maintenance through a single versioning system and shared changelog. Contributors can add tests and examples to their submissions, ensuring robust solutions for developers. Explore specific instrumentations via provided links.
