OpenTelemetry: Overview & Backwards Compatibility of OpenTracing + OpenCensus
summary
OpenTelemetry merges OpenTracing and OpenCensus into one CNCF project that targets a first release by year end and native libraries for Go, Node, Python, Java, .NET. It provides a single API plus reference implementations, an agent and unified collector (buffering, batching, retries), a wire format based on w3c trace context, and features like tail-based sampling and built-in Zipkin/Jaeger/Prometheus/StatsD compatibility. OpenTracing/OpenCensus repos go read‑only end of year with two years of compatibility.
