A Guide to OpenTelemetry Tracing for the JVM | HackerNoon
Briefly

OpenTelemetry approaches on the JVM vary significantly by programming languages and frameworks, even within the same language. Key frameworks include Spring Boot with Micrometer Tracing and agents, and Quarkus configurations. The OpenTelemetry Java Agent requires minimal setup to log spans effectively across frameworks. It supports numerous libraries and frameworks, providing standardized environmental variables. Utilizing Kotlin coroutines for Reactive data access enhances integration and performance while simplifying the overall architecture.
The OpenTelemetry Java Agent requires minimal configuration, primarily setting the agent when running the JVM, making it easy to integrate into existing applications.
There are significant differences in configuration and results of OpenTelemetry implementations across various programming languages and frameworks, even within the same language.
Key feature setups include the OpenTelemetry Agent supporting multiple frameworks including Spring Boot and Quarkus, which log spans automatically upon framework/library support.
Using Kotlin coroutines with Reactive data access enhances the application's flow, integrating smoothly with OpenTelemetry for trace logging.
