The OpenTelemetry Go project now supports automatic instrumentation via eBPF! This is a big milestone for the project and makes it significantly easier to generate data from your Go apps: The automatic instrumentation agent is still in s/alpha/beta today, but it’s ready for you to try on your applications!

Logz.io is excited to announce Easy Connect, which will enable our customers to go from zero to full observability in minutes. By automating service discovery and application instrumentation, Easy Connect provides nearly instant visibility into any component in your Kubernetes-based environment – from your infrastructure to your applications. Since applications have been monitored, collecting logs, metrics, and traces have often been siloed and complex.

Although microservices and cloud architectures are the new norm for modern applications, cloud cost optimization could run high in observability. High costs are largely due to the number of components involved in cloud architectures. According to Cloud Data Insights in a recent report, around 71% of IT companies say that cloud observability logs are growing at an alarming rate— a driving factor for rising observability costs.

When it comes to debugging performance related issues, the range of these issues together with their root cause can be overwhelming to developers.

DevOps is not just about operating software in production, but also releasing that software to production. Well-functioning continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines are critical for the business, and this calls for quality observability to ensure that Lead Time for Changes is kept short and that broken and flaky pipelines are quickly identified and remediated.
