Integrate OpenTelemetry for Express.js with infrastack.ai

Follow the example project on GitHub

Install the NPM package

Prepare your environment

Export your API key as an environment variable.

export INFRASTACK_API_KEY=sk-1*************************f5af

Create instrumentation.ts

instrumentation.ts

import { startOtel } from "@infrastack/otel"; 
startOtel({
  serviceName:"YOUR_SERVICE_NAME",
});

If you don’t provide a service name, we will create a random name for you.

Build and run your application

Run your Express.js application with the node required command.

npx tsc && node -r ./dist/instrumentation.js dist/index.js

After creating some traffic, you can check your data from the infrastack.ai dashboard.
