open-telemetry/opentelemetry-erlang

This system is an OpenTelemetry implementation for Erlang and Elixir, providing a comprehensive observability toolkit. It includes core SDKs for tracing, an experimental metrics API, and semantic convention libraries that map standard attributes and metrics. The system also supports exporting telemetry data via the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) and the Zipkin protocol, enabling integration with various backends.

This period focused on establishing the foundational structure of the project, including repository scaffolding, configuration management, and the initial release of the OpenTelemetry API and SDK for Erlang and Elixir. Key developments included implementing trace context propagation, adding benchmarking samples, and introducing the OTLP exporter for sending telemetry data.

This period focused on introducing an experimental metrics API for Erlang and Elixir, establishing the foundational structures for counters, histograms, and observable instruments. It also involved updating semantic conventions to version 1.40.0 with improved Elixir support and deprecating older macro-based interfaces. Additionally, a new Zipkin exporter was added to support trace data export.

This period focused on upgrading the OpenTelemetry semantic conventions to version 1.40.0, introducing extensive new metric and attribute definitions for HTTP, database, and various system telemetry. The work involved generating Elixir and Erlang code templates, implementing stability opt-in mechanisms, and adding comprehensive test coverage for the new conventions.
