Observability

Observe Your Phoenix App with Structured Logging

In this post, we'll configure a Phoenix LiveView application to use a structured logger. We'll then use AppSignal to correlate log events with other telemetry signals, like exception reports and traces. Along the way, you'll learn about the benefits of structured logging, and you'll see how to configure a distinct framework and application logger in your Phoenix app. Let's get started!

Episode 3: Cut Observability Costs (SD Times Microwebinars)

If you dig down to the bottom of it, you’ll find that Observability will eat up any budget allocated to it and then some. That’s because the need for more Observability is rarely rooted in engineering needs. It is in fact coming from a much more primal place: the fear of the unknown. This is why Observability is a huge cost driver, growing year over year, and tremendously hard to optimize. Because anything you cut away will be quickly replaced by new data points.

Episode 2: Live Observability (SD Times Microwebinars)

In the first episode, we will discuss the fourth pillar of Observability and how Snapshots are so much better than logs. One of the big benefits of Snapshots in particular and agile Observability in general is that you can adapt your Observability in real-time without requiring code changes or redeployments.

Episode 1: The Fourth Pillar of Observability (SD Times Microwebinars)

Why should SREs get all the fun? Everyone knows logging sucks and so SREs created two new pillars: metrics and traces to make their jobs easier. Well, logging sucks for developers too and they deserve - and need - better Observability. That’s where the fourth pillar of Observability comes in: Snapshots.
