DrupalCon Amsterdam 2019: Do you know what your Drupal is doing? Observe it!

In this talk, Luca Lusso explores the complexities of managing Drupal 8 websites, which increasingly function as intricate applications reliant on external microservices. He addresses the challenges of tracing a single request's lifecycle from the client through Drupal subsystems to external services, emphasizing the need for effective observability practices. The session covers the implementation of structured logs, metrics, and tracing to enhance performance monitoring. Participants will learn about integrating Drupal with various tools, including OpenTracing, Prometheus, Monolog, and Grafana, to effectively trace requests and display vital metrics.
