+# Basic Elixir Example
+
+This is a sample repository that demo how to setup a basic Elixir application
+with `opentelemetry-api` and `opentelemetry_exporter`. Here, we are using
+`opentelemetry_exporter` to export the traces to [OpenTelemetry Collector][0].
+The collector in turn export the traces to [Zipkin][1] and [Jaeger][2]
+respectively.
+
+## Getting Stated
+
+Assuming you already have Docker and Docker Compose installed:
+
+1. Run `docker-compose up` to start the application, OpenTelemetry Collector,
+   Zipkin and Jaeger.
+2. Visit Zipkin at http://localhost:9411 and hit `Run Query` to look the the sample trace.
+3. Visit Jaeger UI at http://localhost:16686 and click `Find Trace` to look at the sample
+   trace.
