Let Honeycomb map out your distributed services

Debugging with logs in distributed systems can be a pain. It’s tough to search raw data looking for a pattern, relating potential causes with other logs, and checking trace and metrics data for more confirmation. Is finding one pattern enough? What if there are other problems? Who knows how many colliding factors are relevant? At Honeycomb, we’re flipping the script on the log search problem. Hear our resident experts, (former Splunk Ninja) Michael Wilde and Andy Dufour, discuss how Honeycomb customers have technically evolved their log analysis process to achieve fast pattern detection, skipping the search grep/search loop entirely.

In this video, you will learn how to quickly get up and running with OpenTelemetry using Helm—plus how to start ingesting data and viewing the results in Honeycomb.

Amazon lays off 9,000 more workers, and that's just scratching the surface of recent job cuts. Back in 2008, Atlassian bucked trends and increased hiring when everyone else was firing. This time, they cut 5 percent of their workforce. Is Amazon using return to office mandates as a way to cut jobs? On a lighter note, Happy 25th Anniversary to command line tool, Curl!

Software is completely changing the automotive industry - from vehicle design to use and maintenance. The whole lifecycle now relies on software and vehicles resembling “computers on wheels”. But vehicles aren’t regular devices like smartphones. They move humans at hundreds of kilometers per hour and need to be safe and secure at all times. When there is software involved, there are always security vulnerabilities. No cybersecurity expert can say the opposite. How can the automotive industry navigate the shift towards software-defined vehicles while ensuring the best level of security?

In this video we will show you how to implement a history database to your Metaconsole environment.

Geographic grid systems allow zooming into maps at progressively higher resolutions and finer grids. For rectangular grids, this is very simple, but for hexagonal grids, the situation is much more complex, since child hexagons are not fully contained within parent hexagons. This video demonstrates how we can still achieve efficient parent-child search in Elasticsearch using the H3 hexagonal grid.

Elasticsearch supports both rectangular and hexagonal grids when aggregating spatial data geographically. This video shows how to set up a Kibana dashboard with four synchronized maps with appropriate layer configurations for comparing and contrasting these two approaches using both geo_point and geo_shape data sources.

In this video, we will introduce you to SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) and explain what it is, why it's important, and how you can get started with it. We'll cover everything you need to know to get started with SRE, from the basics of SRE concepts and principles to the tools and skills you'll need to succeed.

Join the Sentry developers who built Sentry’s OpenTelemetry support and learn how to understand the performance of your OTel instrumented applications. As the leading open standard for observability, thousands of companies use OpenTelemetry to capture data across their services - but capturing raw logs, traces, and metrics is only the first step in improving software performance.
