OpenTelemetry for .NET provides an API shim on top of the System. Diagnostics- based implementation. This shim is helpful if you’re working with other languages and OpenTelemetry in the same codebase, or if you prefer to use terminology consistent with the OpenTelemetry spec.

Over the talk we will take a real world scenario that comprises of different microservices that uses Kafka as a message broker. We will see how to use the shim library to perform manual instrumentation and In order to visualize and analyze our traces, we will export them to a backend such as Jaeger.
