Instrumenting Elixir Applications
Book •
Instrumenting Elixir Applications is a hands-on guide from Zack Kayser and Ethan Gunderson that walks developers through adding telemetry, tracing, metrics, and observability into Elixir projects.
The authors draw on experience running high-traffic Elixir systems to explain practical instrumentation patterns, use of OpenTelemetry, and strategies for tracing, metrics, and logs.
The book covers library-specific instrumentation, sampling and storage trade-offs, and real-world operational concerns such as LiveView socket behavior and deployment effects.
It aims to make observability accessible to developers by providing examples, best practices, and actionable steps to reduce cognitive load and produce useful telemetry out of the box.
Published with Pragmatic Programmers, the book targets Elixir developers wanting to improve production diagnostics and system understanding.
