End-to-end observability with decoupled Drupal and microservices? Yes, it’s possible now!

This talk focuses on monitoring and debugging a decoupled project that features Drupal as the backend and a separate JavaScript frontend application. The speaker discusses the challenges posed by integrating multiple microservices in languages such as Python, Go, and Node.js, along with dealing with an unstable third-party API. Attendees will learn how to implement OpenTelemetry to achieve comprehensive observability across their infrastructure, capturing logs, metrics, and end-to-end traces in a single interface. Additionally, the session highlights how to trace specific failed operations, providing insights from user interactions to backend service failures, all without incurring costs for commercial services. Alexey Korepov presents this valuable session at DrupalCon Singapore 2024.
