#3 OpenTelemetry with David Juarez

We had a conversation with the Greptime team regarding OpenTelemetry, which is the ability to understand the internal state of a system by examining its outputs. In the context of software, this means being able to comprehend the internal state of a system by analyzing its telemetry data, including traces, metrics, and logs.
