From the Signadot blog: Testing Kafka-based Asynchronous Workflows Using OpenTelemetry

My colleague wrote this pretty extensive tutorial on pairing distributed tracing on AWS with X-Ray with Tracetest for trace-based testing. Makes it pretty easy to test cloud-native apps. 🙌 https://tracetest.io/blog/trace-based-testing-cloud-native-apps-with-aws-x-ray-and-tracetest

I'm curious if anyone can recommend a solution for Datadog cost optimization? Tools, consultants etc.. Thanks!

Shameless plug: Signadot is using OpenTelemetry baggage to do routing of requests to a test/experimentation version of a single service: Sandboxes in Kubernetes using OpenTelemetry

Great webinar coming up on Linkedin later this month

Hi everyone! Does anyone have any directional advice for building an observability pipeline for mobile app metrics? I have a very large mobile app on both android and iOS and am looking to provide my engineering teams with a fairly fluid pipeline and UX to monitor their code across the fleet. Our backend uses datadog right now and it works really well. Im looking to replicate or self host something comparable for our mobile metrics.

Hey friends 👋 Disclaimer: I run DevRel at Tracetest.io A few users from this community asked about integrating Tracetest.io with Honeycomb.io, and I just wanted to share it now works! Read the tutorial below and learn how to get started and get the most out of both tools. 👇 https://tracetest.io/blog/honeycomb-tracetest-observability-driven-development

I wrote a guest piece for The New Stack that looks at a unique angle of observability and incident response that I am passionate about: https://thenewstack.io/cloud-dependencies-need-to-stop-f-ing-us-when-they-go-down/

Hey friends! Curious about tracing the Kubernetes runtime? 🤔 This blog post documents our findings and provides step-by-step instructions to set up a local observability environment and inspect traces on its API, node agent, and container runtime. 💥 Read more below. 👇 https://opentelemetry.io/blog/2023/k8s-runtime-observability/

Hey everyone, Solsys, Inc. wrote an eBook titled "Convergence of Observability and Security" -Feel free to check it out at https://solsys.ca/convergence-of-observability-and-security-ebook/

Hello folks we release OpenObserve (https://github.com/openobserve/openobserve) yesterday . An open source observability platform built in rust for logs, metrics and traces. Would appreciate feedback.

anyone knows of a tutorial for continuous profiling under kubernetes + ebpf that we can read? e.g parca,pyroscope others.

Hey friends! Cool update for OpenTelemetry nerds! Tracetest just launched the first-ever tool to analyze traces. The Tracetest Analyzer can analyze traces, identify patterns, and fix issues with code instrumentation. It’s the easy way to adhere to OpenTelemetry rules and standards to ensure high quality telemetry data. Have a look: https://tracetest.io/blog/tracetest-analyzer-identify-patterns-and-issues-with-code-instrumentation

I'm at Monitorama this week. Lot of interesting views from the speakers, including the most quoted "There are 2 kinds of AIOps teams, dead ones and new ones" from Joseph Ruscio. , though you have to scroll around a bit looking for each talk.

Hi everyone, I wrote an article about how we do observability on our platforms from bare metal to systems layers: https://www.iguanasolutionsusa.com/blog/2023/06/28/observability-core-iguana-solutions/# Enjoy reading

hey folks, we're trying to validate/hear feedback about pains people experience with their existing o11y stack (or in general, things they feel like it's missing) -- anyone up to helping 2 young entrepreneurs explore some stuff? would love to setup a quick call/chat with whom ever may be willing to do so 🙏

Hey friends! 👋 Just wanted to leave an announcement per popular demand. We had users asking for an Azure App Insights integration to enable observability-driven development. And, here it is! 😄 https://tracetest.io/blog/announcing-the-tracetest-integration-with-azure-app-insights

hey guys - join a live demo of groundcover.com and how to build custom dashboards and alerts right now! https://app.livestorm.co/groundcover/live-demo

hey everyone! we’re live right now with a crazy demo of eBPF in groundcover you’ll see how you can move from your current o11y stack into a whole new world of monitoring your cloud https://app.livestorm.co/groundcover/live-demo-1

Hey guys, do you know any observability tools that support both eBPF and are not cloud-native? Most of the eBPF tools I found seem to be designed for cloud-native environments.

SigNoz, the open source dashboard for OpenTelemetry data, released their visual query builder this week. Love seeing open source visualizers get fancy exploration GUI

Hey everyone, I wrote this guide on how to use Grafana to monitor and test APIs with distributed tracing. It lets you prevent errors from reaching production by using traces for testing. 🙂 https://tracetest.io/blog/monitoring-and-testing-cloud-native-apis-with-grafana

hello there...has any one tried deploying PostgreSQL on Nomad containers?

Hello everyone, I’m seeking a few suggestions for an observability tool to monitor my Scala services running on AWS Fargate. Could you please share your recommendations with me?

Imagine you had a tool that gets alerts from all of your tools (datadog, grafana, etc) and runs worksflows based on these alerts (one or more). What workflows would you build?

Hello friends! Here’s a story how the OpenTelemetry Demo had issues with unreliable releases and breaking changes being merged in PRs. Trace-based testing helped the OpenTelemetry Demo increase reliability and confidence in releases. Read more below! https://tracetest.io/blog/why-did-opentelemetry-ditch-black-box-tests

Hello everyone! sharing some exciting announcements in the observability world from Datadog: https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/dash-2023-new-feature-roundup/

Hi - sort of observability but more just general end user support.... I want a tool like TeamViewer for remotely control mainly windows machines desktops. Happy to setup my own cloud rendezvous server but don't want to pay as much as TeamViewer. Pre login control nice but not essential - unattended access a must. Ideas please - was thinking of doing ssh from the Windows machine to a cloud server with a keep alive on a reverse tunnel and VNC Server running on each machine but.... Something nicely packaged rather than rolling my own would be better!
