opentelemetry-tide

Add OpenTelemetry tracing and metrics support to your tide application. Be part of the new observability movement!

Notes

• It only implements very basic request tracing on the middleware layer. If you need spans for your executed code, you need to add them yourself.
• It provides basic prometheus metrics, based on the RED method.
• This project got inspired by https://github.com/OutThereLabs/actix-web-opentelemetry.
• You probably do not want to use it in production. 🤷

How to use

# Run jaeger in background
docker run -d \
  -p6831:6831/udp -p6832:6832/udp -p16686:16686 -p14268:14268 \
  jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest

# Run server example with tracing middleware
cargo run --example server

# Make a request or two ...
curl http://localhost:3000/

# Open browser and view the traces
firefox http://localhost:16686/

# Check the prometheus metrics endpoint
curl http://localhost:3000/metrics
