Instrumenting an AI-Powered GitHub Analyzer with OpenTelemetry and SigNoz

Instrumenting an AI-Powered GitHub Analyzer with OpenTelemetry and SigNoz

Short summary

A hackathon submission detailing how GitIntel, an AI-powered GitHub repository analyzer using Gemini 2.5 Flash, was instrumented with OpenTelemetry and SigNoz for end-to-end observability. The author faced latency spikes (8–52s) and token variance (4K–40K) across analyses that standard logs couldn't explain. Distributed tracing revealed which pipeline steps — GitHub API calls, Gemini batches, or aggregation — drove cost and latency, enabling targeted optimization.

  • •GitIntel uses Gemini 2.5 Flash to analyze GitHub repos across 8 engineering dimensions
  • •OpenTelemetry tracing exposed per-step latency and token usage that logs couldn't reveal
  • •SigNoz correlated traces, metrics, and logs to pinpoint bottlenecks in the AI pipeline

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
