Picking App Performance Monitoring Tools

June's Python North West talk is all about monitoring, with Emanuil Tolev, a Community Engineer with Elastic, the company behind the open source Elastic Stack (Elasticsearch, APM, Kibana, Beats, and Logstash).

Emanuil will be describing application performance monitoring (APM) and its history, explaining why it's useful to have an APM system and how to go about picking one. He'll also be giving a tech demo of monitoring a basic Django app that uses Celery for background jobs.

Emanuil is a Community Engineer with Elastic. He used to be a freelance web developer + ops lead and ran a small open science web dev consultancy with partners for several years. Interested in mentorship, inclusion, small businesses, archery and always curious about how the world works in detail.

As with our last few meetings this one will be held at Federation House, who require that we provide a list of attendees the day before the talk, so please try to RSVP by Wed 19th June.

Just like our previous event, there will be nibbles and a selection of drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) available. If there are any special dietary requirements, please let me know.
