Effortless backend monitoring with OpenTelemetry

OpenTelemetry simplifies backend monitoring by adding just ten lines of code to set up tracing for every HTTP request made to and from a website. In the backend, there is an inherent context of a web request, making it effortless to implement. However, OpenTelemetry currently does not work optimally in the front end or client-side applications, which focus on metrics and logs. OpenTelemetry aims to address this gap by developing a solution for frontend monitoring. In the .NET context, a 'span' in OpenTelemetry corresponds to creating an activity, leveraging the existing capabilities in activities that have been around for a long time.
