Observability by Design: Leveraging OpenTelemetry Weaver To Take Control of Your Observability

summary
OpenTelemetry Weaver is a CLI/docker tool that treats observability as a public API: it generates up-to-date Markdown docs, type-safe client SDK code (demoed with Go from a YAML metric spec), and fake-data streams; it enforces compatibility with policy-based static validation using Rego/OPA and will run live instrumentation checks against integration tests to catch dropped attributes before deploy. It also emits registry diffs for safe metric renames and integrates into CI/CD pipelines for automated checks.
