5 lessons you can learn from OpenTelemetry Python
25/10/2025 , Intermediária

OpenTelemetry Python maintains one of the largest open-source Python monorepo. Its packages are downloaded 500M+ times a month. Join us to learn 5 things the project does to keep things working.


OpenTelemetry Python is a SIG (Special Interest Group) that develops and manages the Python implementation of OpenTelemetry, the second-highest velocity project in the CNCF landscape (only behind Kubernetes). This group delivers a vendor-neutral observability solution, building over 80 Python packages and counting more than 500M downloads per month. This makes it a peculiar project with interesting technical challenges and scales to share the lessons learned.
