Monitoring Elixir With OpenTelemetry

There are many application performance monitoring products on the market. Most of them use a dedicated library to instrument your application, which reduces software reusability and interoperability. OpenTelemetry defines a standard way of collecting application traces, metrics, and logs, that is vendor- and language-agnostic. Since OpenTelemetry became stable in early 2021, I’d like to review its Elixir support and share my experience with monitoring Elixir applications at scale.
