# Overview

This example shows how to use [@opentelemetry/tracing](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js/tree/master/packages/opentelemetry-tracing) to instrument a simple Node.js application - e.g. a batch job.
It supports exporting spans either to [Zipkin](https://zipkin.io) or to [Jaeger](https://www.jaegertracing.io).

## Installation

```sh
$ # from this directory
$ npm install
```
