To play around with OpenTelemetry I need some kind of playground. Now I need some testing application to instrument. For this I'm using Symfony app with monolog, some async messaging and database queries. Also while I'm at it I'll setup grafana with prometheus, loki, and tempo to use as backends for observability data.

This is the first post in the series of posts about OpenTelemetry. In this entry I'm looking into what it is, why it should matter and how it could be useful for any application or system.
