Overview

Formance uses OpenTelemetry to collect and send telemetry data to your monitoring system. OpenTelemetry is an open-source observability framework for cloud-native software. It provides a single set of APIs, libraries, agents, and instrumentation to capture distributed traces and metrics from your applications.
