Flask OpenTelemetry - Monitoring your Flask application using OpenTelemetry

Tracing your application can give the much-needed context required to troubleshoot performance issues. OpenTelemetry is an open-source project that can help you set up an observability framework for your cloud-native applications. In this tutorial, we will use SigNoz as our backend analysis tool. SigNoz is a full-stack open-source APM tool that can store and visualize the telemetry data collected with OpenTelemetry. It is built natively on OpenTelemetry and works on the OTLP data formats.

When I speak at conferences, I often fall back to the fact that just a couple of decades ago we’d observe production by kicking the server. This is obviously no longer practical. We can’t see our production. It’s an amorphous cloud that we can’t touch or feel. A power that we read about but don’t fully grasp. In this case, we have physical evidence that the cloud is there. A part of this major shift in our industry is a change to our fundamental roles as engineers.

If only there was a way to prevent that! Luckily, there is.
