We recently had the following ask from the front-end UI team that we needed to implement in our REST APIs: I want to fetch a set of records from the backend database with filter clauses such as WHERE, ORDER, GROUPBY etc and be able to show a UI element for…

Traces, and logs Traces and logs are what I would consider absolutely mandatory if you integrate Otel with FastAPI. If you are not sending both of these to your otel backend, you should be buried in hot sand, have honey poured on you, and a box of red fiery ants released near you!!! …

The Otel Python SDK is still a work-in-progress piece of technology. These are gaps which I discovered during my journey and how I managed to work around them. HTTPException Logging — Missing details!? The first one was where I couldn’t get Otel to log the error details when I raised a HTTPException (see https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/handling-errors/#use-httpexception). We…

No long useless rants here. Just code. Let’s go!! (That snack saw me through some of the code below, so it deserves a place here!) from opentelemetry import trace from opentelemetry.instrumentation.fastapi import FastAPIInstrumentor from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider from opentelemetry.sdk.resources import Resource from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import SimpleSpanProcessor, BatchSpanProcessor, ConsoleSpanExporter from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.grpc.trace_exporter import OTLPSpanExporter from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.grpc._log_exporter import OTLPLogExporter from opentelemetry.sdk._logs…

How we designed our PIP I’ve seen folks struggle with trying to force-fit a PIP into their ABAC eco-system and using approaches such as collecting attributes from various systems at run-time and combining it into one object (that’s what I would call a pseudo-PIP) for submission to the PDP. The PIP is a central location…

A while ago, I wrote about how we integrate Okta and Auth0 using Auth0’s Social Connector (it runs OAuth2 behind the scenes). Today I will get into a bit more detail about how it’s done behind the scenes. Our applications are registered directly with Auth0 as a “Regular Web Application”…

This is the first part of Human Managed’s event-driven API story. In this part, we cover the high-level decisions that we made to build this part of our platform. In the second part, we explore how we translated these high-level decisions into run-time components. Note: All product names, logos, and…

Just ran into a redoc limitation. As you know, Redoc renders an OpenAPI spec-ed JSON schema. When you have multiple possible responses, you can define them as such in your FastAPI code: class connections_hour(BaseModel): member1: str = Field(title="Member1", description="bla bla", example="Bla bla bla") member2: str = Field(title="Member2", description="More…
