Overview
Kicking off our evening was Francois Massot from Quickwit with his talk on Quickwit: Cloud-Native Logging and Distributed Tracing(starting at 11:05). His takeaways mentioned that:
- Observability data is going on object storage because it’s cheap.
- You need efficient engine to search through data on object storage.
- Cloud-native engines that queries your observability data on object storage will save you cost and time.
Next up we had Eric D. Schabell from Chronosphere telling us about 3 Pitfalls Everyone Should Avoid with Cloud Native Observability(starting at 47:39). He talked about:
- Many hidden costs to cloud native observability and one often forget about the instrumentation of your existing application landscape.
- Don’t get caught up in the 3 pillars, but focus on the 3 PHASES of cloud native observability to get the most out of your time and investments.
- Be nimble, be quick, and above all be sure to not get caught in the cloud native observability tooling sprawl that is pushed on you from all sides!
