Not all telemetry is created equal. Curate the data you save in Honeycomb using Honeycomb Telemetry Pipeline Manager. Then restore them later if you change your mind!

In this Grafana Office Hours, we talk about the state of observability databases (Grafana Loki, Mimir, Tempo, and Pyroscope) and where they're going. We talk about current and upcoming architectural changes in all four, how we're making them more performant, how compatible they are with OpenTelemetry, and what we're working on next for each database. In this conversation are Dee Kitchen (VP of Engineering for Databases) and Senior Developer Advocates Jay Clifford and Nicole van der Hoeven.

Most teams have strong monitoring for production, but what about the journey before your code gets deployed? The CI/CD pipeline is where bottlenecks, flaky tests, and process gaps silently waste your team’s time. Until now, this part of the workflow has mostly been a black box. We’re excited to announce CI/CD Observability in SigNoz - a new way to track, analyze, and improve your software delivery process, powered by OpenTelemetry.

How can we send less data without losing information? Sampling removes duplication among distributed traces, while keeping all the interesting ones. See how this works with Honeycomb and Refinery.

Previously, teams had to choose between adopting the OpenTelemetry Collector’s capabilities and fully leveraging our advanced features. On This Month in Datadog, we’re spotlighting our OTel Collector distribution, which unifies OTel and Datadog. Check out the link in our bio to watch the new episode.
