Is opentelemetry ready for production usage? As my understanding this project is a merge between OpenCensus and OpenTracing, but it’s still in beta and the documentation is really lacking. Does anyone have any hands-on experience with this library?

SDKs for languages are in beta and might not be production ready but the collector is production ready. You can use any of the OpenTracing or OpenCensus instrumentation libraries but deploy the OpenTelemetry collector and once Otel SKDs mature, migrate OC/OT to Otel or not if you don't want to.

I've used it, and it's very similar to OpenCensus and OpenTracing. If you've used either, it's not much of a stretch to use OpenTelemetry.

That said, it is still beta, and will be until Q4.
