Overview

Under the hood, Shuttle runs an OpenTelemetry (OTel) collector alongside your service that, once configured, sends project telemetry like vCPU and RAM usage as well as any custom metrics you define to a supported third-party integration of your choice.

​

Quick Start

To get started with telemetry in your Shuttle project, follow our step-by-step guide.

Available Telemetry

1. All Container Metrics - See the Default Platform Metrics section below
2. Application Metrics - Track your application’s behavior with custom metrics
3. Application Logs - Export tracing events and logs (not stdout/stderr)
