OpenCensus and OpenTracing have merged to form OpenTelemetry, which serves as the next major version of OpenCensus and OpenTracing.

Important Note #

• OpenTelemetry has now reached feature parity with OpenCensus, with tracing and metrics SDKs available in .Net, Golang, Java, NodeJS, and Python.
• All OpenCensus github repositories, except census-instrumentation/opencensus-python, will be archived on July 31st, 2023. We encourage users to migrate to OpenTelemetry by this date.

OpenTelemetry vs OpenCensus #

Choosing between OpenTelemetry and OpenCensus is a question of security and functionalities because, as of July 2023, OpenCensus is no longer maintained and any security vulnerabilities that are found will not be patched. Additionally, OpenCensus has laid the foundation for instrumenting metrics and traces, while OpenTelemetry builds upon that foundation to provide a more comprehensive observability solution. ref
