Tech stack & purpose

Semantic-conventions is an open-source repository that defines standardized telemetry conventions for consistent and accessible observability across diverse domains and technologies. The project covers semantic conventions for spans, metrics, logs, and events across numerous areas including databases (SQL, MongoDB, Redis, etc.), cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), programming runtimes (.NET), protocols (HTTP, DNS, GraphQL), infrastructure (hardware, CI/CD), and Function-as-a-Service platforms. The repository is maintained by the OpenTelemetry project and provides guidance on defining new conventions, managing stability levels from development through stable status, and ensuring instrumentations across different libraries and technologies emit compatible telemetry.
