Observability and instrumentation via OpenTelemetry
2024-08-14 , East Balcony (capacity 80)

This talk will cover the basics of observability - what are metrics, logs, and traces, and what is the difference between them. Then we will explain instrumentation. Then we will show how instrumentation is meant to be standardized via the open-source telemetry solution OpenTelemetry. Finally, we will see how instrumentation can be done via OpenTelemetry in Python. We will demo how tracing works, all based on open-source examples.
