Welcome. We're a friendly group for those who program using the Python language as well as those wanting to learn it. We try hard to be beginner friendly as well as cover advanced material.
If you are new to Python, you are invited to attend the Beginner's Session starting at 6pm. If you are interested in mentoring new Python developers, you are also welcome to attend this hour.
Our normal meeting will start at 7pm.
OpenTelemetry is a free, open-source Observability Protocol. OpenTelemetry sits at the application layer, and exports Traces, Metrics, and Logs to a backend for observing. It is extremely helpful and beneficial to developers in mean "time-to-detection" and "time-to-resolution" of bugs and issues that occur at the application layer; this ranges from detecting and alerting for errors raised (such as TypeError), to finding that a specific microservice (such as AWS Lambda) ran for twice as long as usual, all the way to seeing the output of a service and comparing it to the expected output to find a bug in the logic of the service.
This talk is meant as a great eye-opening introduction into basic Monitoring and Troubleshooting code that may be running in a galaxy far, far away on a Cloud Provider’s computer.
Ron Nathaniel is currently working on Solutions Engineering at Cisco and loves Python. He has been an active part of the Observability world ever since his frustrations with debugging Python.
This will be an in-person event.
