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/

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:
