# Reference implementations

> Examples of how different organizations with different environments have implemented OpenTelemetry

---

Reference implementations show how real-world organizations use OpenTelemetry to
build scalable, resilient pipelines that send application telemetry to
observability backends. These examples span a range of organizational structures
and technology stacks.

As point-in-time snapshots, reference implementations are not actively
maintained and may not reflect current best practices as the OpenTelemetry
project evolves.

<!-- Add how to propose a new reference implementation once the issue template and repo are ready. -->
