This repository contains the OpenTelemetry Astronomy Shop, a microservice-based distributed system intended to illustrate the implementation of OpenTelemetry in a near real-world environment.
Our goals are threefold:
- Provide a realistic example of a distributed system that can be used to demonstrate OpenTelemetry instrumentation and observability.
- Build a base for vendors, tooling authors, and others to extend and demonstrate their OpenTelemetry integrations.
- Create a living example for OpenTelemetry contributors to use for testing new versions of the API, SDK, and other components or enhancements.
We've already made huge progress, and development is ongoing. We hope to represent the full feature set of OpenTelemetry across its languages in the future.
If you'd like to help (which we would love), check out our contributing guidance.
If you'd like to extend this demo or maintain a fork of it, read our fork guidance.
You can be up and running with the demo in a few minutes. Check out the docs for your preferred deployment method:
