This conference talk explores how to implement unified observability for Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) built on Backstage using OpenTelemetry. Learn how to instrument and extend Backstage to collect custom observability metrics with OpenTelemetry, a vendor-neutral framework. Discover practical implementation steps for setting up and integrating an OpenTelemetry metrics service with the Backstage backend to push metrics to an OpenTelemetry Collector. The 23-minute presentation by Ekansh Gupta and Shivanshu Raj Shrivastava from SigNoz covers foundational concepts, hands-on implementation techniques, integration and visualization using OpenTelemetry, and practical applications. Gain the knowledge and tools needed to effectively instrument observability for Backstage deployments, improving monitoring of usage, health, and performance of your developer platform.
