Modern observability for Python
Friday, May 24
11:00 - 11:30
Observability is changing! Gone are the days of plain text logs. We’ve now got traces, metrics, observability infrastructure, and multiple standards for all of them. Join us to learn what this all means and how you can use these new technologies to gain visibility into your project.
Once upon a time, all we had was plain text logs. You could change the formatting, and if you are lucky you have the observability infrastructure to be able to search through and understand these. Things are changing now! OpenTelemetry in particular is taking the observability space by storm. But with more power comes… more complexity. It can be hard to know where to get started. This talk will distill what you need to know from a developers perspective about the modern observability landscape. We’ll focus on OpenTelemetry and cover how to configure and use the OpenTelemetry SDK, first breaking down the main concepts you need to know and then diving into some code examples. Finally we’ll talk about where and how you can export the data once you’re collecting it.
