Easily build healthy and reliable web apps using metrics and tracing

Abstract

Modern web apps face new challenges when it comes to availability and performance. It is mandatory to gain operational insights in real-time and get early warnings to prevent outages. In a live coding session we kickstart a web app and show how we can easily include opencensus metrics and tracing. Building modern web applications is no hard job anymore, thanks to frameworks which solve a lot of common problems for us. One of these frameworks is Flamingo and we will use it in this live coding session to build a small web application from scratch. In a couple of minutes and only a few lines of code we will already get a running application with a simple controller and a route to it. In order to bring our application into production with a clear conscience, we need operational insights in real-time. We will therefore implement a healthcheck, provide opencencus metrics and tracing. The Flamingo framework provides a set of modules for operational readiness which we use to make our application production-ready.
