About OpenTelemetry

OpenTelemetry is an open-source observability framework that lets you generate, collect, and export telemetry data (traces, metrics, and logs). It is not a storage backend or a visualization tool. Instead, it acts as the universal language and delivery system for your telemetry data. Think of OpenTelemetry as the plumbing — it gathers data from your applications and infrastructure, processes it, and pipes it to the backend of your choice.

🙃 We made this page because people keep typing "opentelemtry" instead of "opentelemetry" — so we figured why not make it fun with a snake game while you're here!
