Simon Davy
I am a infrastructure focussed developer from Leeds, UK, and a PyCon UK regular, having been coming since 2008,
I been using python since around 2003, initially in an academic context, for my PhD in AI Scheduling, and then commercially for various companies. I worked for Canonical on Ubuntu for 9 years, and currently work at the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science at the University of Oxford, on the OpenSAFELY project.
I am particularly interested in all the fun and hard things about running complex production software - security, scalability, testing, user experience, developer experience, and observability.
Session
Understanding how your production systems are working is vitally important, but hard to do.
In this workshop, we will hands-on learn how to use OpenTelemetry to instrument a Django application, and how to use it to diagnose problems in production.
