Add OpenTelemetry tracing to a Go gRPC microservice by generating a complete observability package that wires gRPC interceptors for automatic span propagation and exports traces via OTLP or Jaeger.

Inject trace IDs into structured logs in Go gRPC by generating an observability package that automatically correlates log entries with active request spans, ensuring end-to-end trace context across distributed services.

Yes, this OpenTelemetry setup includes Prometheus metrics configuration for Go by generating the necessary endpoint setup and Docker Compose additions to expose and scrape application metrics for production monitoring.

Yes, you can use gRPC interceptors for automatic span propagation in Go, as the generated observability package automatically instruments gRPC calls to propagate spans across distributed microservice request flows.

The best way to debug slow requests across Go microservices is to implement end-to-end observability that automatically traces every request, logs with trace-ID context, and exposes metrics to pinpoint distributed bottlenecks.

You do not strictly need Docker Compose to use the generated OpenTelemetry instrumentation code, but the package includes Docker Compose additions to simplify deploying the required observability backends for production readiness.
