 A core concern is not initializing the telemetry service early enough in the backend lifecycle. Services that initialize before the telemetry service risk receiving no-op meters. To mitigate this, the root service will include a bootstrapping functionality that will be called as early as possible in the backend lifecycle.

 ## Design Details
 
 We will provide a thin wrapper around the OpenTelemetry Node SDK to provide a consistent interface while re-exporting the types from the SDK. This lets us provide a consistent telemetry interface while leveraging types and concepts already familiar to the community. Additionally, we will rely on the auto instrumentation features of the SDK as much as possible.
