Description
OpenTelemetry (OTEL) has emerged as the de facto standard for observability. It's vendor-neutral and a CNCF project. Lately, Deno shipped support for OTEL.
Based on a few conversations in the hallway at the recent collaboration summit, there is interest in building this within Node.js. Moreover, it would simplify many integrations and improve overall performance.

Research direction
Start by researching the OpenTelemetry standard and how Deno supports it, then review Node.js's existing observability and integration surfaces. The issue does not name files, tests, or a specific entry point; done would require an agreed scope for Node.js OTEL support and validation of the promised integrations and performance improvements.
