+## OpenTelemetry Instrumentation
+
+The frontend application has been configured to **not bundle the OpenTelemetry SDK**. Instead, it relies on external instrumentation attached at runtime via environment variables.
+
+### Server-Side (Node.js/Next.js)
+
+To enable OpenTelemetry on the Node.js server:
+
+**Option 1: Using environment variables**
+```shell
+export OTEL_SERVICE_NAME=frontend
+export OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://otel-collector:4318
+export OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER=otlp
+export OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER=otlp
+export OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER=otlp
+npm run start
+```
+
+**Option 2: Using Node.js auto-instrumentation**
+```shell
+node --require @opentelemetry/auto-instrumentations-node/register server.js
+```
+
+**Option 3: Via Docker with environment variables**
+Set the environment variables in your `docker-compose.yml` or deployment configuration.
+
+### Client-Side (Browser)
+
+Browser-side instrumentation requires:
+- OpenTelemetry JavaScript SDK loaded via a `<script>` tag
+- Browser extension or RUM solution
+- Proxy-injected instrumentation
+
+The application uses OpenTelemetry API calls that will only emit signals when an external SDK is present.
