Open Telemetry

There are three kinds of signals that we talk about in the open telemetry and, i think, in the observability world. And those are logs, traces and metrics. So their a point and time events can be logs which really describe detailed information about distributed systems. The thing that someone would want to do as an academic, or any practitioner who is interested in generating the standard shapes of telemetry, is to decide which of those three signals, their data is best modelled with.
