OpenObservability Talks

The sixth of our OpenObservability Talks has Avishai Ish-Shalom, Developer Advocate at ScyllaDB. We trust our metrics to show us the status of our system and where it misbehaves. But do our metrics show us what really happened? You'd be surprised how often it's not the case. On this episode we discussed the math behind metrics, some common misconceptions, what it take to have accurate metrics, and if there even is such a thing. Avishai Ish-Shalom has served as Engineer in Residence in Aleph VC,

The fifth of our OpenObservability Talks has Michael Haberman, CTO & Co-Founder of Aspecto. There's a lot of discussion on how to achieve observability in microservices. Most of the discussion revolves around production workflows such as granular monitoring or debugging of complex environments. A much less discussed aspect is the development stage, before even reaching production. In this talk we will discuss the challenges of microservices environments, and how to leverage tracing for

The fourth of our OpenObservability Talks has Albert Teoh from the Jaeger project. Distributed tracing has been gaining momentum with the growing popularity of microservices. Jaeger is a popular open source tool originally developed at Uber and now part of the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation). Albert had been working at Uber for the past 2.5 years, where he got hands-on with Jaeger. On this talk Albert will share with us his experience with distributed tracing, from introducing it into new

Episode 3 of OpenObservability Talks, where we'll be hosting Matt Schallert of Chronosphere. The topic for this episode is Long-Term Metrics with M3 and Prometheus. Prometheus is the de facto solution when getting started with metrics, supporting use cases where a single node can store the entire dataset. When it comes to scaling out workloads or storing long-term data, Prometheus offers the Remote Write and Read interfaces to integrate with other storage solutions. In this talk, Matt will show
