The amount of additional code that it needs is horrible. We will now have to spend more brain juice on telemetry when working on a feature.

I work for Pydantic. We make Logfire, a commercial OTEL backend. But we’ve made wrappers around the OTEL SDKs in various languages that simplify configuration and usage. They can be used with any OTEL compatible backend (although we’d love if you try our SaaS offering): - JavaScript / Typescript: https://github.com/pydantic/logfire-js - Rust: https://github.com/pydantic/logfire-rust - Python: https://github.com/pydantic/logfire
