MAKERS & BUILDERS - Do you know what your Drupal is doing? Observe it!

This talk focuses on enhancing the observability of Drupal 8 websites, which increasingly function as complex applications that rely on distributed architectures and external microservices. The speaker discusses the challenges of tracing a single request as it navigates through various Drupal subsystems and external services, emphasizing the importance of efficient problem tracking and performance optimization. The session highlights the necessity of structured logs, metrics, and traces, moving beyond simple log streams. Attendees will learn how to implement observability techniques using tools such as OpenTelemetry, Monolog, and Grafana to collect, store, and visualize telemetry data effectively.
