Responding to the request from

gRPC has native OpenTelemetry instrumentation support. We have plans to support metrics, tracing and logging.

gRPC OpenTelemetry Metrics - https://github.com/grpc/proposal/blob/master/A66-otel-stats.md (Already implemented in C++, Java, Go and Python)
gRPC OpenTelemetry Tracing - https://github.com/grpc/proposal/blob/master/A72-open-telemetry-tracing.md
gRPC OpenTelemetry Logging - Still being designed

Great news! Would be cool to do a blog post about this, we feel that OTel is stable enough now that we would like to start encouraging more native instrumentation.
