OpenCensus [1] provides an implementation for tracing and app-level metrics, a context wire protocol, and exporters for various backends. While it provides similar tracing APIs to …

They're different in scope and goals. Census is composed of a context propagation format (which the blog post mentioned), a single distribution of language-specific libraries that …
