Abstract
You may have heard of OpenTelemetry: It's the new observability framework used by Heroku, GitHub, Shopify, and others. But what the heck is an observability framework? What problems does OpenTelemetry solve? Who is it for? And why does it seem so complicated? This will be a high-level introduction to OpenTelemetry from a Rubyists' perspective, with special attention given to who is currently getting value from it, and ways you could consider adopting it at your organization.
