Comment on Ask HN: What's Your Opinion on Opentelemetry?

Comments

Would you use it for small/medium sized projects?

Depends what your requirements are - what's the problem you're trying to solve? The size doesn't matter. If may want to instrument a 3 line script and ignore a massive app. It's fine either way.

What was the most annoying part about setting it up?

That's going to be highly dependent on which part of opentelemetry you use and how. It's a protocol with lots of possible uses and implementations. You'll need to be more specific with what you're expecting to send, from where, and to what system.

In general, if you need it, it works. But what I'm mostly trying to say is that you'll need to do some more research and info gathering on your own to ask questions that others can answer. This one is at the level of "what's your opinion on cars?"
