Nicolas Takashi wrote Observability beyond the three pillars — Profiling in da house., a short but comprehensive overview on continuous profiling and associated tooling.

FOSDEM recap¶

Interesting talks on Observability from Fosdem 2023 by Prathamesh Sonpatki is a really nice recap of the most important OSS event of the year. Thank you!

Prometheus LTS experience¶

Dmitri Lerko pointed out to me Alina Frolova's article about Grafana Mimir — our journey towards infinite wisdom with 5m active time series, a Prometheus Long-Term Storage (LTS) report.

OpenTelemetry in Go¶

Komu Wairagu wrote the very useful article The complete guide to OpenTelemetry in Go, covering all signal types, instrumentation to consumption. Well done and KUTGW!

Practical OpenTelemetry¶

Daniel Gomez Blanco, a Principal Engineer at Skyscanner, has announced that his book Practical OpenTelemetry: Adopting Open Observability Standards Across Your Organization will soon (March 6) be available. Pre-ordered and can't wait to read this adoption guide!

OpenTelemetry on the desktop¶

Stumbled upon CtrlSpice/otel-desktop-viewer, a CLI tool for receiving OpenTelemetry traces on your local machine. Helps you to visualize and explore traces without sending it to a back-end.
