While I was contracted to build a property marketplace platform with features such as email notifications, appointment scheduling, enquiries, etc; I adopted open source frameworks such as django and its associated third-party libraries for development, and nginx, gunicorn, unicorn for deployment. During early deployment I handled deep internal errors that forced me to study the frameworks source codes deeply using debuggers and stepping through the code. By the end of early deployment and testing, I had actually traced a full request path across the whole stack, from nginx to django and return. I then set out to document the whole experience as a textbook However, I quickly realised that I can also develop a runtime observability platform that actually instruments the frameworks internals and extracts information for analysis to detect anti-patterns and bottlenecks l, and hence OriginTracer was born. OriginTracer is open-source backed by advanced traced book chapters for the web frameworks explaining in detail how the source codes work internally. It also provides free probes and rules which ship with the open source framewor.
