### AI overview

A hands-on TIL describes using Codex to run Parseable and receive OpenTelemetry traces from Datasette, following Datasette 1.0a41's addition of OpenTelemetry support. Parseable is described as an observability platform with an open-source Rust implementation, an Enterprise version, and a hosted option.

### Source excerpt

TIL: Using Parseable with Datasette for OpenTelemetry traces I saw Parseable in a Show HN today - it's a new observability platform with both an open source (AGPL) Rust implementation (a single ~180MB binary), an "Enterprise" version with extra features and a cloud hosted option. Since Datasette 1.0a41 added OpenTelemetry support (thanks, Alex Garcia), I decided to fire up Codex and have it figure out how to run Parseable and feed it traces from Datasette. Here's my (human-written) TIL showing the patterns that worked, and here's a screenshot of a Datasette trace displayed within the Parseable localhost web application: Tags: datasette, observability, alex-garcia, opentelemetry
