What you'll learn

Debugging distributed Python systems requires more than logs. In this course, OpenTelemetry: Observability with Python, you’ll learn to collect traces and metrics using the OpenTelemetry Python SDK. First, you'll explore the foundations of observability and set up OpenTelemetry with the Python SDK. Next, you’ll see how to instrument Python services with spans and metrics using automatic and manual techniques. Finally, you’ll learn how to export telemetry to AWS CloudWatch for real-time monitoring and debugging. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of OpenTelemetry needed to apply observability to any Python microservice running in production.
