To collect trace data in production environments, it is necessary to run
the OpenTelemetry collector
somewhere in your network that will be accessible from both your frontend and backend. In a Kubernetes deploys, it could
be run as a sidecar container. In DigitalOcean deploys, you may need to deploy
the otel/opentelemetry-collector:latest
docker image as a separate droplet.
