Observable Lightning Talks June 2024

Observable Lightning Talks is back with new speakers for the edition of June 2024. 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 26th of June 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 26th of June between 12PM - 1:30PM EST ( 6PM-7:30PM CEST)

Here is the Agenda for the first edition :

The 3 presentations of this edition are :

Tail Sampling - The control of Sampling in your hand

Opentelemetry Tail Sampling is a powerful tool that allows us to have control over what we want to observe in our traces, with flexible policies where we can choose what we want to store.

What's Falco, the most advanced runtime security project for the Cloud Native world, and what can we do with it ?

Applications and services vulnerabilities and flaws may be detected at your supply chain but do you have any clarity on what's occurring at runtime? Do you know what is running and how to stop a threat quickly? Let's find out how Falco, the graduated CNCF project for runtime security, allows you to observe in real-time the suspicious events in your pods, clusters, VM and more. We'll see how it works, its features, and how to use its ecosystem to enhance the integrations and extend it til the reaction to the threats.

Closing the Tracing Gap for PostgreSQL using the OpenTelemetry Collector

PostgreSQL, like many systems, does not expose traces. Even when trace context information can be passed to the system, it's hard to correlate traces from the application with logs or other telemetry exposed from PostgreSQL. In this talk, I show you, how I built a prototype using the new Connector API in the OpenTelemetry Collector, to extract traces from PostgreSQL logs and push achieve end-to-end tracing from the application to individual nodes in the query execution plan.
