Is observability good for our brain? How about post-mortems?

Oct 10, 2018 By Sematext In Sematext

Your software stack likely consists of web servers, search engines, queues, databases, etc. Each part of your stack emits its own metrics and logs. Depending on the size of your team and structure, different team members might have permissions to look at one set of data, but not the other. Some data is needed for troubleshooting and can be discarded after just a few days, while more important data might need to be kept for months for legal or capacity planning purposes.

The macro landscape in software has changed in the last decade—metrics, monitoring, unstructured logs, and alerting aren't enough to tell what our software is doing anymore. This opening keynote will focus on how we've achieved observability on the Nylas platform, using many concrete examples—and will show what observability means to us and where we're still lacking.

The fastest, most direct route to instrumented code: a Honeycomb Beeline

May 10, 2018 By Chris Toshok In Honeycomb

If you’re feeling too busy or overwhelmed to instrument your code, we are here for you. We’ve talked many times about the value of instrumentation, and how it’s necessary to instrument your code properly to have access to the kind of data you need to get real observability. Instrumenting your code can mean a lot of things, but in particular it means you have to augment it in many different places, which is time-consuming.

So What is Observability Anyway

May 1, 2018 By John Fahl In logz.io

It’s amazing. It’s brand new. Everyone needs it. It is “the next best thing”. Only half of these statements are true, it is not new and it is not the next best thing. It is branding an existing paradigm that many companies use and rely on—but—it is amazing and everyone should want it. If you’re new to the concept, what does observability really mean and how can it help transform your operations?
