Here are two demo applications, manually traced in Python with OpenTelemetry. This demonstrates to full power of OpenTelemetry in Python, sending the data to the ‪@cncf‬ project Jaeger trace and analysis storage backend.

Just wanted to say that I've found your series very helpful. For the last week I've been trying to understand these concepts, but none of the other videos or docs that I've found helped me as you did. Keep creating content about telemetry in Python!

Thank you so much. If you want specific content covered, let me know and if I know it, I’ll do an episode on it :)
We’re all learning all of this together. Good luck!
