+### Case study, using Factory and shared gRPC client between OTLP gRPC exporters
+
+To reduce the cost of gRPC, the SDK allow users to share gRPC clients between
+OTLP gRPC exporters when these exporters have the same settings. This can be
+used as follows from the application code:
+
+```cpp
+// Include following headers
+#include "opentelemetry/exporters/otlp/otlp_grpc_client_factory.h"
+#include "opentelemetry/exporters/otlp/otlp_grpc_exporter_factory.h"
+#include "opentelemetry/exporters/otlp/otlp_grpc_exporter_options.h"
+#include "opentelemetry/exporters/otlp/otlp_grpc_log_record_exporter_factory.h"
+#include "opentelemetry/exporters/otlp/otlp_grpc_log_record_exporter_options.h"
+
+// Create exporters with shared gRPC Client
+namespace otlp = opentelemetry::exporter::otlp;
+
+void SetupOtlp() {
+  otlp::OtlpGrpcClientOptions client_opts;
+  otlp::OtlpGrpcExporterOptions trace_opts;
+  otlp::OtlpGrpcLogRecordExporterOptions log_opts;
+
+  // Setting client_opts, trace_opts and log_opts
+  // client_opts.endpoint = "localhost:1234";
+  // Or we can use client_opts = trace_opts; to copy options from environment of
+  // trace OTLP exporter.
+
+  std::shared_ptr<otlp::OtlpGrpcClient> shared_client =
+    otlp::OtlpGrpcClientFactory::Create(client_opts);
+
+  // Create exporters
+  auto trace_exporter =
+    otlp::OtlpGrpcExporterFactory::Create(trace_opts, shared_client);
+  auto log_exporter =
+    otlp::OtlpGrpcLogRecordExporterFactory::Create(log_opts, shared_client);
+
+  // Other initialization codes ...
+}
+```
+
+Be careful, create OTLP exporters with an existing `OtlpGrpcClient` will ignore
+the options of gRPC when passing the `OtlpGrpcExporterOptions` or other option
+object.
