Chris Bailey - Easy Ergonomic Telemetry in Production w/ Sibyl

Leave comments at: https://elixirforum.com/t/elixirconf-2023-chris-bailey-easy-ergonomic-telemetry-in-production-w-sibyl/59392 https://github.com/Vetspire/sibyl/tree/main Developers are spoiled by the choice and quality of telemetry & observability options in the OSS and BEAM communities. With the `:telemetry` library being a de-facto standard used across almost every library conceivable and OpenTelemetry being a widely used, common standard, it brings a lot to the table. Unfortunately, at Vetspire, we’ve found that much of the work needed to roll out good metrics/traces/telemetry is manual, repetitive, and potentially error-prone. Over the last few months, we’ve been leveraging our experience rolling out telemetry, our learnings & failures, and some cool Elixir/Erlang features to automate away the “pain” of bootstrapping an easy, ergonomic Telemetry solution for your production apps!
