What
Parseable is an OpenTelemetry-compatible observability tool for storing and querying observability data.
How
Datasette added OpenTelemetry support, and the author used Codex to run Parseable and feed it Datasette traces.
Why it matters
Engineers can use this integration pattern to inspect traces from an application in a separate observability platform.
