On March 12th, another Ruby Argentina meetup occurred at Roxom’s office in Buenos Aires.
It started with Jaime’s talk “Implementing 11 APIs in Rails without going crazy”. Jaime demonstrated his approach in building 11 API clients for his startup, MoonyApp.
Then came Patricio’s talk “The path to instrumentation”. In his talk, he shared his experience with 2 apps we’re maintaining at SINAPTIA. They had significant performance issues that led him to try and observe how they behaved upon certain events. After working with Rails instrumentation and error reporting, he stumbled upon OpenTelemetry. OpenTelemetry is an observability framework designed to collect, process, and export telemetry data such as metrics, traces, and logs. He demonstrated how we can instrument a Rails app with OpenTelemetry, and export and analyze the metrics to Jaeger and Prometheus.
After that, he demonstrated SolidTelemetry, a project we have been secretly working on since last year.
After Patricio’s talk finished, we had a moment to talk with new people and have some drinks and empanadas, courtesy of SINAPTIA.
Huge thanks to Ruby Argentina and the organizers. We had a great time and we’re looking forward to April’s meetup! See you all there!
