Observability for Elixir microservices
This talk provides a high-level overview of observability at Brex for our microservice architecture in Elixir. In particular, it details the custom libraries and frameworks we use as core primitives to best understand how our systems behave, as well as the tooling we use to surface metrics, logs and traces to developers.
