OpenTelemetry announced the first wave of beta releases for Java, Go, JavaScript, Python, and .NET Components.
“We’ve made significant progress on OpenTelemetry in the last few weeks as we’ve successfully added more languages for inclusion in the beta launch. We’ll continue to add more language-specific components to the project as we move forward, bringing us closer to our mission of instrumenting the world,” said Morgan McLean, co-founder of OpenCensus and OpenTelemetry and product manager at Google.
Developers can use these APIs and SDKs to generate, collect, and describe telemetry about distributed systems.
