Open-telemetry is industry standard created by companies like Google, Uber, CNCF, etc.
Major companies already uses it. More details here: https://signoz.io/blog/opentelemetry-tracing/
SigNoz is suitable for production environments. Here are few tips for running SigNoz on production: https://signoz.io/docs/production-readiness/

02/16/2023, 3:09 AMwe currently run the OTEL agents in PROD with traffic into the millions, no issue so far.
not a stability issue directly, but some services do get their logs flooded with these weird warnings which i haven’t pinpointed on how to solve:
[otel.javaagent 2023-02-16 22:31:53:598 +0000] [PeriodicMetricReader-1] WARN io.opentelemetry.sdk.metrics.internal.state.AsynchronousMetricStorage - Instrument db.client.connections.pending_requests has recorded multiple values for the same attributes.s
