OpenTelemetry Semantic conventions cover many layers of your stack but fall flat when it comes to business logic. But this doesn’t have to be the case! The OpenTelemetry Weaver project gives you the tools to build your own semantic conventions. With auto generated instrumentation libraries and documentation, developers no longer have to worry about whether an attribute is called customer_id, customerID, accountNumber or something completely different - it’s all in the schema! Built-in support for policy validation also ensures your alerts never break because a metric has been renamed.
