Monitoring your FastAPI application with OpenTelemetry

Feb 5, 2024 By Ankit Anand In SigNoz

FastAPI is a modern Python web framework based on standard Python type hints that makes it easy to build APIs. It's a relatively new framework, having been released in 2018 but has now been adopted by big companies like Uber, Netflix, and Microsoft. Using OpenTelemetry, you can monitor your FastAPI applications for performance by collecting telemetry signals like traces. FastAPI is one of the fastest Python web frameworks currently available and is really efficient when it comes to writing code.

Ensuring software quality with integration testing

Feb 2, 2024 By Deacon McIntyre In Raygun

Before the Raygun API limited release last year, we'd been consistently receiving requests for a public API for a long time, to provide a way for our customers to access their Raygun data programmatically. We're now proud to say we're providing a public API with a range of endpoints, but it took us a lot of planning and development to get here! In this post, I'd like to take you back to the beginning of development on our big API project. Specifically, I want to walk through the pivotal decisions we made around testing when we started development on the project, and how (and why) these have paid off.

Soft Min and Max Axis Limits for Charts

Jan 31, 2024 By SigNoz In SigNoz

With soft min and max axis limits, the axis will not shrink down to show smaller variation in data as large mountains. So while creating charts you can specifiy a min and a max value for your axis. Actual datapoints will have the highest preference, so you won’t be able to set a min lower than an actual datapoint in your chart.

Optimizing APM Costs and Visibility with Cribl Stream and Search

Jan 30, 2024 By Scott Beamish In Cribl

OpenTelemetry is starting to gain critical mass due to its vendor neutrality and having worked in the APM space for the last five years. I can see the appeal. Using OpenTelemetry libraries to instrument your code frees you from putting vendor libraries in your codebase. The other challenge most customers face is balancing cost versus visibility. While effective, most APM solutions are costly.
