OpenTelemetry JavaScript

Use it when

• instrument a Node or browser application with vendor-neutral traces and metrics
• correlate requests across services before choosing an observability backend

What it solves

Not the fit when

• requires a collector or backend to store and query telemetry

Install

npm install @opentelemetry/api @opentelemetry/sdk-node

Invoke

Configure a NodeSDK tracer and exporter before loading application modules, then propagate trace context across requests.
