"Introduction to OpenTelemetry with Python"
summary
Django and Flask apps get automatic one-line instrumentation or precise manual instrumentation with Python SDKs, emitting spans to a console exporter and to elastic OpenTelemetry back end; demo shows a todo app, OpenTelemetry Collector via YAML + Docker Compose, and that the pipeline usually works though UI can lag. Claims: Python traces and metrics are stable, logs remain in development; seven months of hands-on use informs these practical steps and tradeoffs.
