This is a preview - LInk to the full article is provided below

OpenTelemetry (OTel ) an open-source framework for trace based observability, provides a standard set of vendor-agonistic SDKs, APIs, and variety of tools to connect with observability backends. It supports all major programming languages, including Java, Python, Node.js, dotnet and Go.

However, Golang distributed tracing (for observability, debugging and testing), through integrating OTel with Go is challenging due to several reasons.

This article demonstrates the biggest challenges and it offers a new approach instead, for compile-time auto-instrumentation makes the process of tracing Golang faster and with much less friction.

Read on how Golang tracing is executed today, and view an example of the exact steps to simplify it
