Implementing observability using OTEL

Does anybody have experience with using OTEL OpenTelemetry for observability for a vaadin application they could share?

I read about the observability kit offered by vaadin.
Is an architectural overview available for that?
Does it include the OTEL-collector?

We have Observability Kit as part of our commercial offering, which adds Opentelemetry instrumentation to Vaadin:

Observability kit works, but be aware of use a more recent version of otel-agent · Issue #259 · vaadin/observability-kit · GitHub as the otel tooling space is still moving rather rapidly and this can become an issue.

Hello @Chris.67,
I do have some experience with OpenTelemetry and Hilla. I haven’t used the Observability Kit, but I implemented some basic observability features into the Spring Boot backend and the React frontend. Depending on your requirements and questions, I could maybe help you.

Does the observability kit include the OTEL-collector?
