Falcon is a minimalist Python web API framework for building robust applications and microservices. It also compliments many other Python frameworks by providing extra reliability, flexibility, and performance. Using OpenTelemetry, you can monitor your Falcon applications for performance by collecting telemetry signals like traces. Instrumentation is the biggest challenge engineering teams face when starting out with monitoring their application performance.

In this article, we will use OpenTelemetry to instrument a sample Flask app for traces. Flask is one of the most popular web application frameworks of Python. It consists of Werkzeug WSGI toolkit and Jinja2 template engine. Instrumentation is the biggest challenge engineering teams face when starting out with monitoring their application performance. OpenTelemetry is the leading open-source standard that is solving the problem of instrumentation.

Organizations worldwide use Active Directory (AD) to manage users, devices and data. The world moves at a fast pace, and it demands that tasks be performed as quickly and efficiently as possible. How many times have you had to create a user account in AD manually? Change passwords? Update group memberships? You could add so many other repetitive AD administrative tasks to this list.

The utilization of cloud-based technologies developed to optimize and streamline business operations is far from a novel idea. In fact, research suggests at least 90% of modern organizations currently use cloud platforms and related technologies to oversee essential processes.

The Windows operating system exposes metrics such as CPU, memory, and disk usage as built-in performance counters, which provide a unified way to observe performance, state, and other high-level facets of Windows subsystems, components, and native or third-party applications. As such, Windows Performance Counters can be invaluable for monitoring resource usage and the health of your infrastructure, as well as systems your services are using.
