The gentle touch of APM - how code tracing works in Python

It has been a busy several years in monitoring and observability. As we’ve hit limits on the visibility and detail that logging and metrics provide, we’ve turned to tracing and APM (App Performance Monitoring) systems. We can now understand performance bottlenecks and see errors in our apps down to the line of code. But how do they really work under the hood? Come and find out! We'll walk through how a free APM system works - Elastic APM.

• an overview of typical Python web framework structure
• Elastic APM's tech architecture
• how its Python agent hooks deep into web apps and Celery back-ends
• how Python trace data is processed and visualised
• how it avoids hitting production web app performance while tracing

This talk is friendly to a variety of backgrounds and levels of experience.
