What is the impact of using OpenTelemetry on the app server? It sounds interesting and I would like to try it out, but still curious, would it slow down my servers? I'm using Node.JS 19.0

OpenTelemetry is designed for busy production environments and is "battle-tested" by many large organizations. There is a minor impact on performances, you can read more about the benchmarks here: opentelemetry.io/docs/reference/specificati.. . In our tests, we saw an impact of less than 1% in the overall avg query duration. For a super busy production DB, it probably makes sense to sample the queries, say 1 out of 20.
