Abstract: Great observability begins with great instrumentation! Learn how to adopt OpenTelemetry by instrumenting a sample Python application with spans and metrics. Starting by exploring “out-of-the-box” automatic instrumentation then progressing to manually instrumenting where needed to add metadata. You’ll leave with an understanding of how telemetry travels from your application to the Collector and ready to bring OpenTelemetry to your project.
