summary
OpenTelemetry ships a v1 set of client libraries, an in‑process API/SDK split, and a collector/agent sidecar that can sample, redact and transform telemetry before exporting. It already integrates with B3 headers and exports to Jaeger/Prometheus/Zipkin via pluggable exporters, with bridges for OpenTracing and OpenCensus. The project attracts 200 contributors, covers Java/Python/Go/Ruby/Erlang/Elixir/Rust, and delivers working traces + context-aware metrics today with logs planned next.
