Overview
A Flutter/Dart package that enables applications to collect and export OpenTelemetry traces for observability. It integrates seamlessly with web platforms, providing a standardized way to instrument code and gather performance metrics, latency data, and distributed traces. The package supports tracing across services and helps developers debug issues by offering detailed insights into application behavior. It is designed for use in production environments where monitoring and diagnostics are critical.
