OTeL also has numerous integrations https://opentelemetry.io/ecosystem/registry/. In contrast, Sentry lacks traditional metrics and other capabilities that OTeL offers. IIRC, Sentry experimented with "DDM" (Delightful Developer Metrics), but this feature was deprecated and removed while still in alpha/beta.

Sentry excels at error tracking and provides excellent browser integration. This might be sufficient for your needs, but if you're looking for the comprehensive observability features that OpenTelemetry provides, you'd likely need a full observability platform.
