Welcome to OTel recipes!
For many, observability is a whole new world and getting started can be a bit overwhelming in the beginning.
OTel recipes is an open source project that aims to help users get started with OpenTelemetry the easy way.
With the help of simple, to-the-point sample applications and well-defined steps (just like a recipe!) users can learn OpenTelemetry concepts and apply them on their applications.
In a nutshell, OTel recipes is composed of two parts: the collection of sample applications that are focused on achieving a specific goal with OpenTelemetry and the website, that allows you to browse the samples in a simple and structured way.
The goal of OTel recipes is to help users get started with it, which can't happen without sample applications 😅.
Contributions are very much welcome, and we tried to make the process of contributing to OTel recipes as easy as possible.
Please see CONTRIBUTING on how to get started. Feel free to start a discussion or open an issue if you get stuck or if something is unclear along the way.
