# OpenTelemetry

An open-source observability framework providing APIs, SDKs, and collector services for capturing traces, metrics, and logs from cloud-native software.

**Route:** surfaced by the Web Application and Frontend Hosting Platform lane's de-branded queries → competitor to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Offers the same telemetry data (traces, metrics, logs) that Vercel’s observability tooling would provide, and a buyer choosing OpenTelemetry to instrument their app would not need Vercel’s own observability features.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> OpenTelemetry is an open source observability framework for cloud native software.

> Provides a single set of APIs, libraries, agents, and collector services to capture distributed traces and metrics from your application.

> Export telemetry data to any observability backend—Jaeger, Prometheus, commercial vendors, or your own solution.
