Go is fast because of decisions most engineers never see. Jesus walks through how VictoriaMetrics uses Go to process logs at scale, the tradeoffs behind those choices, and what breaks if you get them wrong. If you write Go or run log pipelines, this is 30 minutes worth blocking your calendar for. Resources for Further Learning.

In this episode, we continue to dive into the workshop we hosted at Cloud Native Days Romania in May, together with our guest, Fred Navruzov, correlating OpenTelemetry with anomaly detection. Furthermore we explore how the VictoriaMetrics MCP server and skills bring AI-powered observability to your workflows. Learn how to detect anomalies faster and interact with your metrics, logs and traces using natural language.

An engineer in an incident does not have a metrics problem, a logs problem and a traces problem. They have one question, and answering it today means opening three interfaces and retyping the same timestamp, service name and tenant into each one.

The OpenTelemetry Collector presets are a great way to start collecting Kubernetes metrics.

In this episode, we explore how to build a modern Kubernetes observability stack using open-source technologies such as VictoriaMetrics, OpenTelemetry, Grafana. Based on a step by step workshop we gave at Cloud Native Days Romania in May, Jose is walking us through it with practical examples. Playlist Resources for Further Learning.

In this episode, we explore neurodiversity in tech and beyond with guests Carl Alexander and Zach Stepek. They share firsthand experiences of what has helped them thrive as neurodivergent professionals and what has not. Together, they discuss the importance of community as a key factor in empowerment, growth, and long-term success for neurodivergent individuals in both work and life.

AI coding assistants are already emitting rich OpenTelemetry data — revealing prompts, tool usage, workflows, and developer behavior in real time. Resources for Further Learning.

Telemetry Talks explores how OpenTelemetry’s CNCF graduation arrives at a pivotal moment for AI-powered development. Together with Alex Marshalov, we dive into vibe coding, AI agents, and the growing need for observability in GenAI systems — from prompts and token usage to reasoning chains and distributed traces — using the VictoriaMetrics stack and OpenTelemetry as the foundation for understanding the next generation of autonomous software.
