In the previous chapter, we covered the why of observability and the value of key concepts like telemetry context and correlation to speed up incident debugging in production systems. It is now time to dive into OpenTelemetry, and the best way to start is to explain how this Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project is changing the way we think about instrumenting our services to enable best practices in observability.
