observability

Structured observability patterns for Python APIs using Logfire and OpenTelemetry.

Overview

Use Logfire for fast setup and OpenTelemetry for vendor-neutral exports. Always set service metadata, instrument key frameworks (FastAPI/httpx), and control sampling.

When to Use

• Tracing API requests and dependencies
• Capturing structured logs with context
• Exporting telemetry to OTLP collectors

Quick Start

uv pip install logfire
