No insane fanout, but unless I very carefully cherry picked a couple of points in the code instead of piggy backing in our already pretty good telemetry choke points, then I’d hit the limit even in preproduction. We don’t historically do a lot of things well, but everything does correlationID propagation properly and some have pretty good telemetry, and have done since before I got here. Most other things in the “well” column were heavy lifting by myself and a handful of other instigators, some of whom gave up and left. That’s probably what upsets me so much about OTEL. It made one of our strengths into another thing to complain about.
