In this video, we cover the latest and greatest news about the scalability and performance of the open source telemetry backends that make up the Grafana LGTM Stack: Grafana Mimir for Prometheus metrics, Grafana Loki for logs, and Grafana Tempo for traces.

A majority of respondents in our Observability Survey said they were using SLOs or moving in that direction. For good reason: By highlighting the most critical error budget burndown, service level objectives (SLOs) can help you prioritize performance issues based on business impact. In this recording, Josh Abreu Mesa and Reem Tariq walk through how Grafana Cloud’s integrated SLO and Incident Response Management (IRM) capabilities can help you identify the most important issues and resolve them quickly.

The cloud-based CRM company Pipedrive has been relentlessly modernising its observability stack, first adopting Grafana visualisation and Grafana Mimir for Prometheus metrics, then recently completed a migration of its distributed tracing from a third-party SaaS provider to OpenTelemetry and Grafana Tempo, and its logging stack from Graylog to Grafana Loki. Along the way, the team developed its own in-house library to include OpenTelemetry in its roughly 750 microservices.

Are your SRE and platform teams under pressure to ingest fewer metrics and logs in the name of cost savings? Reducing costs does not have to mean reduced observability. This recording walks through the cost management features in Grafana Cloud that allow you to analyze, attribute, monitor, and optimize your metrics and logs usage – and lower costs – without compromising your observability strategy.

In cloud native environments, finding and resolving issues across services and between application and infrastructure dependencies can be challenging. In this recording, we provide demos on Grafana Cloud’s latest capabilities for correlating application and infrastructure observability: Application Observability and Beyla — both generally available. You will hear how Grafana unifies and contextualizes service relationships and application and infrastructure dependencies to help you resolve problems faster.

Understanding your end users’ experience with your applications and services is critical, and there are a variety of tools to help. But there are also a number of different use cases: During development or in production? Simulate user behavior or monitor real user behavior? What should you use and when? This recorded session explores when and how to apply load testing, synthetic monitoring, and real user monitoring to gain insights into the end user experience of your critical applications.

The observability team at Wise Payments – Europe’s leader in cross-border money transfers – had long provided the company’s developers access to a multitude of tools. But as costs and complexity increased, Ibukun Itimi, Engineering Lead for Observability and Andrew Brown, Reliability Squad Lead, saw an opportunity to change not only the tools they were using, but also the observability culture.

As a beginner in DevOps, you probably have come across multiple definitions of DevOps and countless things that fall under the DevOps umbrella. So you have a basic idea of what DevOps is but are you able to explain it to another newbie like yourself? Join Lisa Jung, a senior developer advocate at Grafana, to learn about DevOps in the simplest terms possible. Subscribe to the Grafana for Beginners series to delve deeper into concepts like observability, DevOps, and how Grafana can be used to observe your system as a part of your DevOps Practice!

👋 Coming to you live from London, Grafana ObservabilityCON 2023's keynote introduces the latest developments in the open and composable LGTM (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir) observability stack AND many exciting announcements! Our keynote features CEO/Co-founder Raj Dutt, CTO Tom Wilkie, and members of the Grafana Labs engineering team.

Learn how Grafana Cloud helps analyze, manage and optimize observability spend from a central location called the cost management hub. The move to cloud-native architectures like K8s and Prometheus has caused an unprecedented increase in telemetry data that has resulted in observability bills skyrocketing. With Grafana Cloud and the central cost management hub, you will be able to answer any cost-related question with the tools to inspect, attribute, optimize and monitor your observability spend.
