Tracing

Shale supports providing an endpoint for collecting OpenTelemetry Traces. These traces provide insight into the backend performance of the instance and are useful in debugging issues.

Enabling the collection of traces can be done by setting the OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_ENDPOINT environment variable.
