Language APIs & SDKs

OpenTelemetry code instrumentation is supported for many popular programming languages

OpenTelemetry code instrumentation is supported for the languages listed in the Statuses and Releases table below. Unofficial implementations for other languages are available as well. You can find them in the registry.

For Go, .NET, PHP, Python, Java and JavaScript you can use zero-code solutions to add instrumentation to your application without code changes.

If you are using Kubernetes, you can use the OpenTelemetry Operator for Kubernetes to inject these zero-code solutions into your application.
