Past Activities
Code BEAM SF 2018
13.40 - 14.25
Tracing and Metrics with OpenCensus
Tracking server requests from the client, through the load balancer, your various microservices, databases and job queues, and then being able to make use of that data to gain insight into your systems performance requires instrumentation of all services, propagating the metadata and reporting to a compatible analysis tool.
OpenCensus provides standard wire protocols and consistent APIs for collecting and propagating the trace and metric data. This talk will cover the OpenCensus protocol and using the Erlang library to instrument the Erlang components of your stack.
OBJECTIVE
- Provide an overview of distributed tracing
- Introduce OpenCensus and why choose it over competitors
- Have audience members coming away knowing how to get started tracing and reporting from their Erlang applications
AUDIENCE
Anyone using Erlang in production.
