summary
Live demos show Node.js + OpenTelemetry automatically instrumenting HTTP calls and producing a root span plus child spans (three spans visible in Jaeger), then adding a custom child span around a two‑second task. Examples send data to Jaeger and Zipkin, implement a custom sampler to drop health‑check spans, add resource and request attributes (deployment and flight ID), and demonstrate context propagation across three apps (Windows Forms → proxy → ASP.NET) end‑to‑end.
