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.

Exploring Winglang with OpenTelemetry

Feb 1, 2024 By DeveloperSteve In Lumigo
Late last year, during an engaging Twitch livestream by AWS Developer Advocate Darko Mesaroš, I was introduced to a new framework Id seen a few people talking about called Winglang. What really got my attention was this wasn’t just another entry in the list of cloud frameworks, Winglang was on a mission to redefine how we interact with cloud environments. Its ambition to serve as an expansive framework that could effortlessly connect different cloud platforms instantly caught my attention.

Avoid Stubbing Your Toe on Telemetry Changes

Feb 1, 2024 By Mike Terhar In Honeycomb
When you have questions about your software, telemetry data is there for you. Over time, you make friends with your data, learning what queries take you right to the error you want to see, and what graphs reassure you that your software is serving users well. You build up alerts based on those errors. You set business goals as SLOs around those graphs.

OpenTelemetry and Grafana Labs: What's new and what's next

Jan 31, 2024 By Juraci Paixão Kröhling In Grafana
A new year is a natural time to reflect on past achievements — and consider future aspirations. When I think about the observability space, specifically, in 2023, OpenTelemetry felt omnipresent. It was a hot topic at every industry event, with at least one dedicated talk at ObservabilityCON, Monitorama, PromCon, and KubeCon + CloudNativeCon, both NA and EU. A notable highlight from KubeCon was OpenTelemetry going GA, marking a significant milestone in the project’s development.

OpenTelemetry vs Prometheus Detailed Comparison

Jan 28, 2024 By Ankit Anand In SigNoz
Both OpenTelemetry and Prometheus are open-source projects under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. OpenTelemetry is a more comprehensive observability framework with support for metrics, traces, and logs. In contrast, Prometheus is focused specifically on time-series metrics. OpenTelemetry is more versatile, and if you’re confused between choosing between the two, go for OpenTelemetry. We will delve deeper into the reason for choosing OpenTelemetry over Prometheus in this article.

Observability with OpenTelemetry and Checkly

Jan 26, 2024 By Cinthia Portugal In Checkly
Observability isn't just a buzzword; it's a vital compass guiding us through the maze of system health and performance. As we’ve adopted microservice architectures, the ability to know ‘what is currently happening in our system’ has diminished as our operational resilience has increased. We find services scattered among a maze of interconnections and interdependencies. And even the logs that used to guide are now scattered throughout this maze.
