Is It Observable

Thanks to Gabriel Koch for joining live on our Observable Lightning Talks in June! 🚀 Gabriel demonstrated how he built a prototype using the new Connector API in the OpenTelemetry Collector to extract traces from PostgreSQL logs. This approach achieves end-to-end tracing from the application to individual nodes in the query execution plan, offering a comprehensive solution to bridge the tracing gap.

➡ Are you familiar with Vector, Datadog's open source observability agent? Vector is an open source agent developed by Datadog to collect logs and metrics. It is comparable to other agents such as Fluent Bit, Stanza, and Promtail. Vector is built in Rust, which suggests that its resource usage may be more efficient. Vector doesn’t support traces; only metrics, logs, and events! However, its processing capabilities are interesting, especially when using VRL. 💡 Many of you asked me to cover Vector on my channel, so here's a short summary of what the video is all about.

Thank you also to Thomas Labarussias for joining us on Observable Lightning Talks in June to discuss Falco and how to secure Kubernetes during runtime. 🚀 He explained how Falco detects vulnerabilities and suspicious events in pods, clusters, VMs, and more. Learn about its features, ecosystem integrations, and how to leverage Falco to identify and respond to threats quickly by watching the recording on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/dtNza9C8 #k8s #security #cloud

🚀 Do you want to try out new features in your software without deploying new code? If so, feature flags could be the solution for you. This blog post will explore feature flags, their history, how to deploy them, and the available tools to implement them: https://lnkd.in/gTC3ui4s #featureflags #openfeature #sre OpenFeature

🚀 What's the difference between Vector by Datadog and other agents? Following the release of our episode comparing Fluent Bit to the Collector, I received numerous requests from the community to include Vector in the comparison. I recently created a video on Vector, and now, it's available as a blog post! Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/dECyKrpc #datadog #vector #fluentbit

Thanks again to Alexandre Magno Prado Machado for presenting at my Observable Lightning Talks in June! 🚀 Want to learn more about tail sampling with OpenTelemetry? Then don't miss the recording of his talk, where he delves into the intricacies of Tail Sampling and shows how to harness this tool to focus on the most relevant traces and optimize your observability strategy.
