I demonstrated OpenTelemetry at Japan.R 2025 last week as an example of ecosystem-wide innovation we're driving at Posit for #rstats. Now thanks to @schloerke.com we have it in a release version of Shiny. This was also a technology that other community speakers picked as one to watch in 2026!

Shiny for R v1.12 is here with built-in OpenTelemetry support! 🎉 Trace sessions and reactive calculations in production with zero code changes. Just install {otel}/{otelsdk} and set your env vars. Learn more: shiny.posit.co/blog/posts/s... #RStats #RShiny #OpenTelemetry

promises 1.4.0 is out! 🚀 * New `hybrid_then()` seamlessly handles both sync & async expressions * Add side effects to your promise chains with `then(tee=TRUE)` * OpenTelemetry tracing support install.packages("promises") Details: rstudio.github.io/promises/new...

For the #parents and #ai users… Does your parenting style match your AI management style?? 🤔🤔 * Do you limit the _client_ to small/manageable tasks? * Do you let the _client_ fumble a few times before guiding it to the intended goal? * Should your _client_ always clean up after itself? 🧺😆

Thank you for attending the #PositConf2025 Shiny session and all of your great questions! I'm excited to see the @opentelemetry.io integrations improve over time 🎉 🗣️: Observability at scale: Monitoring Shiny Applications with OpenTelemetry 🐙: github.com/schloerke/pr... #RStats #RShiny

{otel} + #rstats is becoming a crazy partnership. This project has driven me to use/write {promises} in ways that makes my 🧠 ache 😅. The reward is worth it! See you at #PositConf2025 where I'll talk about this in more detail

Slides from my #ShinyConf talk earlier today: "AI Kung-Fu 🥋: Training your LLM client in two function calls" github.com/schloerke/pr... Thank you @appsilon.bsky.social for hosting such a great event! #pystats #pyshiny #python #ai #rstats #rshiny
