Getting insights with OpenTelemetry and Jaeger
- [Instructor] I mentioned before that I added OpenTelemetry tracing to the shop application, and it'll be also included in all services we will create.

OpenTelemetry is an open source project within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, CNCF. It provides a set of APIs, libraries, agent and instrumentation to make observability a built in feature of cloud native software.

It helps gather timing data needed to troubleshoot latency problems in…
