The idea is:
When someone develops an application with OpenTelemetry support, usually the most useful feature is tracing, in particular in a multiple services environment, being able to trace a call chain including the queries done to databases. Since n8n workflows are usually requests to services and now the workflow supports OpenTelemetry, it would be a HUGE jump having the nodes adding granularity using standard stuff
My use case:
Being able to trace more precisely the work of the nodes
I think it would be beneficial to add this because:
In enterprise scenarios you need to be able to know everything that goes on. This is a simple (usually you can autoinstrument stuff like that) but huge step in this direction
