Beyond HTTP 200: Observability With GraphQL

Session description

To run GraphQL in production with confidence, we need more than just uptime checks and HTTP 200 - we need deep visibility into the graph itself. In this talk, we will explore how to implement the three pillars of observability: traces, metrics, and logs - specifically for GraphQL. We'll explore OTel and GraphQL, allowing you to trace requests from the gateway down to individual Federation subgraphs and deeper. Finally, we will look at how to leverage dedicated tooling like Hive Console to make sense of this data.
