What is @opentelemetry/context-async-hooks?

The @opentelemetry/context-async-hooks package is part of the OpenTelemetry project, which provides a set of APIs, libraries, agents, and instrumentation to create and manage telemetry data (metrics, logs, and traces) for cloud-native software. Specifically, this package leverages Node.js' async_hooks module to implement context propagation for asynchronous operations. This is crucial for tracing and logging in asynchronous applications, as it allows developers to maintain context across asynchronous boundaries.

What are @opentelemetry/context-async-hooks's main functionalities?

Context Management

This feature allows for the management of context across asynchronous operations. It uses the AsyncLocalStorage class to create a new context storage, run a function within this context, and retrieve values from this context later in the async flow.

const { AsyncLocalStorage } = require('@opentelemetry/context-async-hooks');
const asyncLocalStorage = new AsyncLocalStorage();

asyncLocalStorage.run(new Map(), () => {
  asyncLocalStorage.getStore().set('key', 'value');
  someAsyncOperation().then(() => {
    console.log(asyncLocalStorage.getStore().get('key')); // Outputs: 'value'
  });
});

Context Propagation

This feature demonstrates how to set up the AsyncLocalStorageContextManager to work with OpenTelemetry's API for global context propagation. This setup is essential for tracing asynchronous operations across different parts of an application.

const { propagation } = require('@opentelemetry/api');
const { AsyncLocalStorageContextManager } = require('@opentelemetry/context-async-hooks');

const contextManager = new AsyncLocalStorageContextManager();
propagation.setGlobalPropagator(contextManager);

// Now, the context is propagated across asynchronous calls automatically.
