Falcon is a minimalist Python web API framework for building robust applications and microservices. It also compliments many other Python frameworks by providing extra reliability, flexibility, and performance. Using OpenTelemetry, you can monitor your Falcon applications for performance by collecting telemetry signals like traces. Instrumentation is the biggest challenge engineering teams face when starting out with monitoring their application performance.

How often should you ping your site? Should you be checking every few minutes, or every hour? Surely you have other ways to detect problems, so maybe just a daily check of your API and main page would be enough, right? While there’s no single right answer for everyone, this post tries to break down how you can find the right cadence for your site checks.
