Among many ways to deploy Grafana, using Grafana hosted on Grafana Cloud is the easiest way to get started. Join Senior Developer Advocate, Lisa Jung to learn how to set up a new Grafana Cloud Account!

Principal Staff Engineer Nikola Grčevski demonstrates how to deploy Grafana Beyla on Kubernetes as a sidecar container. Grafana Beyla is an eBPF auto-instrumentation tool for application observability: you just have to tell it what to listen to, give it permissions, and deploy it-- and you can see metrics and logs from that component or service without having to do any manual instrumentation.

Nikola Grcevski, Principal Software Engineer at Grafana Labs, gives us an introduction to eBPF with Grafana Beyla. We discuss what is eBPF, how you can use it to auto-instrument applications, and how to get started with Beyla. eBPF observability is all the rage because we all want automagical instrumentation-- but does it live up to that promise? Nikola's here to tell us what eBPF can and can't do, and where he'd like to take Beyla next.

ComplyAdvantage, which provides compliance and risk management tools, has overhauled its observability platform twice in two years, first moving from on-prem Grafana OSS to Datadog, and then migrating from Datadog to Grafana Cloud. Join Principal SRE Adam Wilson to hear how his team’s approach to observability evolved, and how their increased OTel usage made it possible to migrate twice — and to get the most out of Grafana Cloud for metrics, logs, traces, Kubernetes monitoring, and more.

How would you describe eBPF in 1 minute? David Allen, Director of Developer Advocacy at Grafana Labs, talks about exactly what eBPF does and what we're doing with it at Grafana.

What is Open Telemetry? Open Telemetry is a project that helps you instrument systems to see what's going on under the hood.

Learn how we're using Bloom filters to accelerate "needle in the haystack" queries in Loki.

Watch a step-by-step demo of how to get started with Grafana Cloud Profiles, the hosted continuous profiling tool that gives you a cost-efficient way to better understand the resource usage of code. Plus, get tips on how to best leverage continuous profiling for better visibility into your observability stack.

Distributed tracing can show you some of what metrics and logs don't show you. Metrics, logs and traces are three different types of telemetry signals, but they are all important parts of an observability strategy.
