The OpenTelemetry PHP team is pleased to announce that the
|
||
[opentelemetry-php](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-php/)
|
||
library has progressed to Release Candidate stability. This release is the
|
||
culmination of years of work from the OpenTelemetry PHP team. Thank you to all
|
||
of the contributors, testers, and integrators that made this release happen. We
|
||
most certainly couldn’t have made this release without the help of the community
|
||
at large.
|
||
|
||
This is the first release candidate we are publishing to garner further input
|
||
from the community. This release offers support for tracing, metrics, and logs
|
||
for PHP applications, as well as auto-instrumentation via a
|
||
[PECL extension](https://pecl.php.net/package/opentelemetry). We will continue
|
||
to refine the library as we receive bug reports, as well as moving towards a
|
||
general availability release.
|
||
|
||
## What happens next?
|
||
|
||
We would love to see people testing the code against production-like workloads.
|
||
Once we have confidence at scale with positive feedback from the community, we
|
||
will move to general availability with a 1.0.0 release.
|
||
|
||
We are also looking to promote our
|
||
[contrib packages](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-php-contrib/)
|
||
to RC and then GA, based on feedback from the community.
|
||
|
||
## How can you help?
|
||
|
||
If you are new to OpenTelemetry PHP, the best place to start is with the
|
||
[getting started documentation](/docs/languages/php/getting-started/).
|
||
|
||
We are looking for developers to test this instrumentation in their PHP
|
||
codebases. We are happy to triage any issues that might come up — please feel
|
||
free to open an issue in our repository’s
|
||
[GitHub issues](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-php/issues/).
|
||
