Applied Telemetry Lessons from the Field

TALK LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE / ADVANCED

As the telemetry ecosystem grows and adds tracing support to its list of observability concerns, it's important for users and library maintainers to get a grasp on what it all means to them.

Bryan will cover the Five Ws and how to improve the runtime observability story for everyone in the Erlang/Elixir ecosystem.

THIS TALK IN THREE WORDS

Observability

Telemetry

Tracing

OBJECTIVES

Help users get acquainted with the telemetry ecosystem and how it fits into observing their applications in production in modern infrastructures amidst regulatory constraints.

The secondary objective is to help library maintainers understand what steps they can take with their libraries to help their users better observe their internals.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Users with observability requirements in production beyond logging. Library maintainers.
