OpenTelemetry observability patterns: traces, metrics, logs, context propagation, OTLP export, Collector pipelines, and troubleshooting

OpenTelemetry Quick Start (signal design) Export OTLP via an OpenTelemetry Collector (vendor neutral endpoint). Standardize resource attributes: service.name , service.version , deployment.environment . Start with auto instrumentation, then add manual spans and log correlation.
