State of the Observability Databases with Dee Kitchen (Grafana Office Hours #30)

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.

Debugging Microservices

Debugging microservices is tough, especially when you're juggling multiple services and relying only on logs. This video cuts through the complexity by showing you how to implement distributed tracing using Sentry. You'll see a practical demonstration in a food ordering app (built with React and Go) of how tracing can give you a clear view of your entire request flow, from the initial button click to the final operation across all your services.

Understanding Your App's Health With Core Mobile Vitals

Mobile apps are a little different from services run on servers. You build your mobile app, you ship it off to the world, and then it gets run by the end user on their own machine. If your app is running poorly on some percentage of users’ devices, you may never know. That’s where observability comes in. There are certain important metrics that every mobile app has in common.

CI/CD Observability Powered by OpenTelemetry

Modern engineering teams spend a lot of time and resources in setting up monitoring of their production systems - tracking uptime, catching errors, and responding to incidents before customers ever notice. But what about the journey before code reaches production? For most teams, observing the CI/CD pipeline is either an afterthought or completely overlooked. While we recognize its importance, do we truly understand how well our CI/CD process is functioning?
