![[HANDS ON] Instrument Python FastAPI with Prometheus Metrics](https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=1000,height=500,fit=cover,gravity=auto,format=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Ftuxb32y6vomkvns5wvcm.png)
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.
