How to Build an Open Telemetry SDK in 7 Minutes

In this talk, I'll provide an overview of the fundamental building blocks required to develop a fullstack observability SDK with minimal friction for users. We'll look into OpenTelemetry-compatible instrumentation techniques for error monitoring, tracing, and logging.
