Beyond Code: Mastering Multi‑Agent Orchestration with the New OpenTelemetry Agentic Standards

Introduction The rise of multi‑agent systems (MAS) has transformed how modern software tackles complex, distributed problems. From autonomous micro‑services coordinating a supply‑chain workflow to fleets of LLM‑driven assistants handling customer support, agents now act as first‑class citizens in production environments. Yet, as the number of agents grows, so does the difficulty of observability, debugging, and performance tuning. Traditional logging and tracing tools were built around single‑process request flows; they struggle to capture the emergent behavior of dozens—or even thousands—of interacting agents. ...
