Encoding OTLP Protocol in REST Packets
TLDR Mac and Srikanth discussed challenges and possible solutions for encoding OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) data correctly. An OTLP exporter was suggested to Mac.

Mon, 11 Sep 2023 17:06:01 UTCIt's an extremely basic OTLP exporter that yes, I implemented in the Google Apps Script. I was trying to initially just send the data over in normal JSON formatting, not realizing it had to be protobuf-encoded JSON data. So I'm currently just having it console.log(spanpayload) to the Google Stackdriver logging system. It kind of shows the same data, just not really OTLP-compliant.

Just want to make sure I understand it, by `protobuf-encoded` JSON data, you mean the JSON payload that is OTLP compliant right? Have you looked at
