-# Hello World Express Example
-
-## Overview
-
-This example illustrates a simple hello world using a local dependency and express.
-
-## Usage
-
-### Install and setup
-
-```bash
-npm run setup
-```
-
-### Running the main application
-
-```bash
-HYPERDX_API_KEY={apikey} OTEL_SERVICE_NAME="hello-node-express" npm start
-```
-
-Alternatively, to export telemetry using `gRPC` instead of `http/protobuf`:
-
-```bash
-HYPERDX_API_KEY={apikey} OTEL_SERVICE_NAME="hello-node-express" OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL=grpc npm start
-```
-
-You can now curl the app:
-
-```bash
-curl localhost:3000
-Hello, World!
-```

-# Hello World example
-
-## Overview
-
-This example illustrates a simple hello world using a local dependency. The eslint is currently disabled because this directory is ignored - please enable it for future development.
-
-## Usage
-
-### Install and setup
-
-```bash
-npm run setup
-```
-
-### Running the main application
-
-```bash
-HYPERDX_API_KEY={apikey} OTEL_SERVICE_NAME="hello-node" npm start
-```
-
-Alternatively, to export telemetry using `gRPC` instead of `http/protobuf`:
-
-```bash
-HYPERDX_API_KEY={apikey} OTEL_SERVICE_NAME="hello-node" OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL=grpc npm start
-```
