Unpacking observability, ditching Prometheus with Hannah Maxwell and Adriana Villela
Description
Are logs enough to troubleshoot your deployment and infrastructure?
Perhaps, but there's a better way to observe, monitor and debug your stack: embracing observability.
In this episode, Adriana explains how she learned to love Open Telemetry and:
How you can combine Traces, Metrics and logs to really understand the root cause of your production issues.
What the Open Telemetry Collector is, and how it can simplify the ingestion of traces, logs and metrics without tying you into a particular vendor?
How to convince colleagues and the business to adopt new technologies.
In this episode, Bart also invited a special guest, Hannah (Adriana's daughter), to ensure that Adriana tells the truth and nothing but the truth.
Hannah shared some great tips on public speaking and… baking!
