Why these Tags: an agent read the README and quoted it
- Instrumentation library from the readme:
OpenTelemetry's goal is to provide a single set of APIs to capture distributed traces and metrics from your application and send them to an observability platform.
An agent gave these Tags from the fixed Tag list in the AwesomeRepos source code. A code check kept each Tag only when its quote is in the text. A wrong Tag? Report an error with the form at the end of this page.
Admitted to the Repository Index on Nov 10, 2026: 6,600 stars on 2026-11-10.
Star History
188 days recorded, May 8, 2026 – Nov 11, 2026 (UTC). Net change +274 stars.
The star count of each day is the latest count minus the net stars of the later days.
Add this Star History to a README
The images follow the light or dark theme of the page that shows them, and update every hour.
Add ?theme=light or ?theme=dark
to the chart address to keep one theme.

The timeline comes from the creation date and the releases on the Repository Host, the Admission, the Star History, and the Observations. Star milestones show only when the Star History records the day. The list shows up to 5 stable releases from the latest 10 releases recorded. When none of them is stable, one item counts the pre-releases. On the chart of net stars each day, a solid line marks each recorded release.

Health facts
Measured facts in four separate dimensions, each with a date and a source. AwesomeRepos does not add them into one score. AwesomeRepos reads the weekly commits, the changelog, and the community files each week for the 5,000 visible repositories with the most stars and for each rising repository.
