We’ve just recently completed KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2023 in Amsterdam, one of the signature events of the year in the cloud native, open source and observability spaces. I was thrilled to be joined by Taylor Dolezal, the Head of Ecosystem for the hosting Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) to discuss the insider happenings of KubeCon EU live from Amsterdam for the April 2023 OpenObservability Talks podcast.
As technology advances, so does the need for software engineers and DevOps teams to understand the precise inner workings of the systems they create. In 2023, observability is quickly becoming a key factor in gaining success for many businesses. The study states that many businesses are in different stages of adopting observability into their arsenal of tools, and that the need for these practices is on the rise.
The modern standard for observability in backend systems is: distributed traces with OpenTelemetry, plus dynamic aggregations over these events. This works very well in the world of web servers. But what about the web client? This post describes the state of OpenTelemetry support for React web clients, as of early April 2023.
This month, Sysdig Secure’s Container Registry scanning functionality became generally available for all users. This functionality provides an added layer of security between the pipeline and runtime scanning stages. On Sysdig Monitor, we introduced a feature to automatically translate Metrics alerts in form-based query to PromQL. This allows you to choose between the convenience of form and the flexibility of PromQL.
As the complexity of modern software development lifecycles increase, it’s important to have a comprehensive monitoring solution for your continuous integration (CI) pipelines so that you can quickly pinpoint and triage issues, especially when you have a large number of pipelines running.
When managing queues and services in streaming data pipelines that use technologies like Kafka and RabbitMQ, SREs and application developers often struggle to determine if these pipelines are performing as expected. Visibility into the performance of a streaming data pipeline, after all, requires visibility into every component of that pipeline.
