+## OpenCensus
+
+Go kit supports transport and endpoint middlewares for the [OpenCensus]
+instrumentation library. OpenCensus provides a cross language consistent data
+model and instrumentation libraries for tracing and metrics. From this data
+model it allows exports to various tracing and metrics backends including but
+not limited to Zipkin, Prometheus, Stackdriver Trace & Monitoring, Jaeger,
+AWS X-Ray and Datadog. Go kit uses the [opencensus-go] implementation to power
+its middlewares.
