OpenTracing needs your help to proliferate. We’ve already had contributors instrument OSS projects, build tracing systems, and work on the API. If you are interested in getting involved, please drop us a note at the mailing list or say hello on Gitter and we will work with you to come up with a useful proposal.
We have prepared for you step by step guides which should help you to start contributing:
Many (but not all) contributed OpenTracing instrumentation can be found under the the OpenTracing-contrib github organization.
Other contributions are included directly/implicitly in the codebase being instrumented, or sometimes in a contrib or ecosystem for said instrumented project.
The following are all on the OpenTracing instrumentation short-list:
- AWS client libs
- Elasticsearch
- Koa
- express
- Feign
- Finagle... almost 😕
- Flask
- gRPC:
- hprose:
- JAX-RS
- motan
- MySQL / mariadb
- nginx
- Okhttp client
- React JS
- Spring Web interceptor
- Java Web Servlet filter
Once you add OpenTracing support for an open-source project, please include an appropriate OpenTracing badge in said project's README.md, website, or similar.
You may either use...
| Badge Flavor | Markdown Snippet | Demo |
|---|---|---|
| Generic | [](http://opentracing.io) |
 |
| OT v1.0 | [](http://opentracing.io) |
 |
This is by no means an exhaustive list, but what follows is an incomplete list of third-party OpenTracing integrations.
- GRPC, hosted within their grpc-ecosystem github organization
We like to spread the word about OpenTracing at conferences. We're always excited to collaborate with anyone who'd like to help out. If that sounds like you, please drop us a note at hello@opentracing.com. Specifically we are looking for:
- Co-presenting opportunities around OpenTracing, including workshops like the ones we've run at Kubecon/OSCON/etc
- Advice if you have spoken at these events or are involved with the committee
- Suggestions for any other events we should apply to speak at:
We are particularly interested in the following events:
- OSCON
- Monitorama USA
- Signal
- Strange Loop
- Surge
- GitHub Universe
- Go To
- Velocity
- SREcon
- DockerCon
- CoreOS Fest
- Fluent
- Gluecon
- Mesoscon
- PyCon
- Kubecon / CloudNativeCon
- Developer Week
- Cloud Foundry Summit
