Observable Lightning Talks December 2024

Observable Lightning Talks is back with new speakers for a special Christmas edition. Come and join us to hear tips and tricks from Industry Experts.

Observable lighting talks open the stage to three speakers sharing their experiences, recommendations, best practices, and more.

And if you have any questions for our speakers, you can ask them during the live panel discussion.

Come and join us on the 16th of December for the new edition of Observable Lighting Talks.

Where?

The event will be broadcast live on Linkedin, Twitch, Facebook, and of course Youtube.

Observability and SRE practices rely on many frameworks available on the market. However, since technology evolves at a very fast pace, it can be difficult to keep track of the latest solutions and technologies and implement all the best practices.

To help you improve your practices and understand the best of breed of the latest technology, IsitObservable is launching a new Show: Observable Lightning Talks.

The concept is simple: Thought leaders from the observability industry will help us along in our technology journey.

Each Observable Lighting Talk will host three speakers covering three different topics that we all love:

The Observable lightning talk is planned on the 16th of Decembre between 12PM - 1:30PM EST ( 6PM-7:30PM CEST)

Here is the Agenda for the first edition :

Agenda

The 3 presentations of this edition are :

The `kubectl debug` command is missing an `IDE` option. Let’s fix that!

Don't get me wrong. `kubectl debug` is one of our favorite commands but, because we like it so much, we are convinced it deserves more!
In this lightning talk we present a `kubectl` extension to run an IDE in a sidecar container for debugging purposes. This extension uses the DevWorkspace operator, which is capable of running lightweight cloud development environments, including the IDE, in containers.
If you like debugging by adding breakpoints in an IDE rather than inspecting your application's logs, you should attend this talk.

Building observable Cloud Native applications with Dapr

Creating distributed applications is hard on developers, as they depend on a runtime they don't control. Observability becomes a must to understand what is going on when things are going wrong. In this short presentation, we will look at how Dapr makes the lives of developers easier and how it helps teams build, manage, and observe complex applications

Service Mesh for Observability

Service mesh technology offers a powerful solution by providing a dedicated infrastructure layer that automatically captures and exposes telemetry data without requiring changes to application code. By intercepting service-to-service communication through proxy sidecars, service meshes collect detailed metrics, traces, and logs that illuminate network behavior, latency, errors, and dependencies.
In this talk we will explore one of the popular service mesh tools Istio and see how it can be used to make observing your applications easier
