go-observability
Use when instrumenting Go services with metrics and distributed traces, or wiring exemplars and request-id propagation. Covers Prometheus patterns (Counter/Gauge/Histogram, low-cardinality labels), OpenTelemetry tracing (TracerProvider, span attributes, errors, context propagation), and metric ↔ trace correlation so a P99 spike jumps to the offending trace. Logging: see go-logging.
