Webinar: How OpenTelemetry is Eating the World

It has been said that open source software is eating the world and in the observability space, the project behind this movement is OpenTelemetry. The project recently entered beta and is quickly becoming the standard for instrumentation and data collection of observability data. When it comes to observability, there are lots of opinions, but limited answers. Understanding what data to collect and how to collect it properly is fundamental to ensuring users have the ability to address availability and performance issues quickly. This talk will discuss the components of the project, current status, roadmap, how you can get started, and how you can get involved.

How do I get the exporter? I do not have traces for now in my app and want to see auto tracing. But this video seems to have only half information as I cannot get the exporter shown in the demo

How long Opentelemetry will take to become Production ready? Waiting eagerly

What's the difference between traces and metrics?

the demo would have been better served if you showed an action, the subsequent data (amongst other like data), and then what you are using to view the data. seemed like you skipped that part.
