 Quarkus guide: https://quarkus.io/guides/opentelemetry
+
+In this opentelemetry-quickstart is implemented OpenTelemetry Metrics detailed in the guide: https://quarkus.io/guides/opentelemetry-metrics .
+
+Additionally, it integrates the LGTM DevService for telemetry visualization by adding the `quarkus-observability-devservices-lgtm` dependency.
+
+Usage and configuration are explained in the guide: https://quarkus.io/guides/opentelemetry-tracing#grafana-otel-lgtm-option
