Telemetry for Rust APIs
You can't fix what you can't see
Your Rust application has finally been deployed to production! Nice! But is it working?
This workshop will introduce you to a comprehensive toolkit to detect, troubleshoot and resolve issues in your Rust APIs.
You will be working through a series of test-driven exercises to learn Rust while building up your Rust observability toolkit!
This workshop is designed for people who have basic familiarity with Rust as a language and want to learn more about
Rust's observability story.
If you run into any issue with the assumed level of Rust knowledge, please ping us and we'll sort it together!
Note
This workshop has been written by Mainmatter.
It's one of the trainings in our portfolio of Rust workshops.

We recommend one of the following:
- RustRover;
