[HANDS ON] Instrument Python FastAPI with Prometheus Metrics

This content originally appeared on DEV Community and was authored by Adam Gardner

In this 5min hands-on video I explain how to take a Python FastAPI application and instrument it to make it “Prometheus enabled”.

The app will begin emitting metrics to the standard /metrics endpoint that Prometheus (or an OpenTelemetry collector) can scrape.
