+# OpenTelemetry Collector Demo
+
+This demo is a sample app to build the collector and exercise its tracing functionality.
+
+To build and run the demo, switch to this directory and run
+
+`docker-compose up`
+
+Hit `http://localhost:8081` in your browser or using something like cURL, and then open
+up `http://localhost:9411` or `http://localhost:16686` to search for the traces in the
+Zipkin or Jaeger UIs.
