The latest News and Information on Observabilty for complex systems and related technologies.
Meet the newest changemakers making an impact in the current climate crisis: Apeel Sciences. The ag-tech company is on a mission to eliminate the 8 percent of greenhouse gas emissions caused by global food waste with their edible, plant-derived food coating, which keeps fruits and vegetables fresh for up to twice as long.
Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) is an exciting technology that provides secure, high-performance kernel programmability directly from the operating system. It can expose a wide range of applications and kernel telemetry that is otherwise unavailable. But with operating systems frequently processing very large volumes of network data, even with an efficient framework and cheap eBPF program runs, costs can add up quickly.
How do you go from A to Z with observability and OpenTelemetry? This post answers a question we hear often: “How do I get started on instrumentation with OpenTelemetry, while also following best practices for the long-term?” This article is all about taking you from A to Z on instrumentation. This will help you: We will use a simple greeting service application written in Node.js to understand the journey. You can find the pre-instrumented state here.
Insights from the 2022 Results That Matter study Correlating data across multiple silos and applications to derive meaningful and actionable insights is an ongoing struggle. These challenges are only set to increase as high-speed connectivity becomes more ubiquitous and enables data-heavy, digital experiences.
At Honeycomb, we love involving our customers when we can. We asked: “What was the first thing you found value from with Honeycomb?” Here are some of our favorite answers.
API Observability isn't exactly new, however it's popularity has seen rapid growth in the past few years in terms of popularity. API Observability using open source is different from regular API monitoring, as it allows you to get deeper and extract more valuable insights. Although it takes a bit more effort to set up, once you've got an observability infrastructure running it can be immensely helpful not only in catching errors and making debugging easier, but also in finding areas that can be optimized.
Since 2013, Monitorama has been a community-driven conference, bringing together open source development and operations engineers to focus on pushing the boundaries of monitoring software and practices. It’s chock full of thought-provoking content in the conference talks. The casual atmosphere also makes the hallway track a great way to network with fellow engineers and vendors alike to pick up on new developments in the monitoring space.
