Let’s use OpenTelemetry with Spring
Introduction
In the dynamic realm of observability, OpenTelemetry is a new set of tools that emerged from the now-deprecated OpenCensus and OpenTracing projects. When it comes to Spring Framework, Spring Boot, Spring Data, and Spring Cloud observability, mature solutions like Micrometer, the de facto Java standard of observability, are being used to instrument their various modules.
