What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you add consistent OpenTelemetry tracing, metrics, and correlation to Go AWS Lambda services without leaking backend-specific concerns into domain code.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Centralized telemetry bootstrap: Set up tracer and meter providers in one place for reusable Lambda execution environments.
• Boundary instrumentation: Add meaningful spans and metrics around HTTP API handlers, SQS processing, and important outbound dependencies.
• Correlation and safety: Preserve request or message context while keeping signal names stable, low-cardinality, and free of sensitive payloads.
• Use Case: Use this Skill when a Go Lambda microservice needs portable observability across inbound adapters, application use cases, and AWS SDK v2 calls.
