Behaviour for tracing backends.

Implement this behaviour to integrate OpenTelemetry or other tracing systems. The default implementation is Jido.Observe.NoopTracer which does nothing.

Example Implementation

A future jido_otel package could implement this:

defmodule JidoOtel.Tracer do
  @behaviour Jido.Observe.Tracer

  def span_start(event_prefix, metadata) do
    # Create OpenTelemetry span and return context
  end

  def span_stop(tracer_ctx, measurements) do
    # End the span with success status
  end

  def span_exception(tracer_ctx, kind, reason, stacktrace) do
    # End the span with error status
  end
end
