OpenTelemetry gains momentum




This article explains how to use the opentelemtry framework to provide tracing through a service-based system, and also details how to send custom context for anything.  Examples are sharding, localisation, feature flags, & experimentation.  If a customer's end-to-end experience travels through 27 services (not uncommon), this framework preserves all contexts needed from all 27 services to diagnose anomalies or failures very quickly.
