This event was one day and focused on Site Reliability, DevOps, and Cloud with a single track of talks. The venue was pretty amazing, the Pongbar, a rather lounge type atmosphere for this event and was a lot of fun meeting all the attendees and speakers.
Below you will find the slides and abstract for the story we presented.
Tonight I was live at their meetup sharing my session on now to sleep more, slog less, and get your Mean-Time-To-Sleep (MTTS) scores as low as possible!
I always want to reach out and thank all who attended to chat with PagerDuty's automation specialists and me from Chronosphere. It is always a fun time to share more about how to gain control over your telemetry data and observability challenges.
The final task is to always provide the slides I used on stage, so that anyone can pursue them at their own pace later. You'll find them below.
Today I shared my session on Perses, which is focused on providing true open source visualization and dashboards to the users of Prometheus. This talk brought the background, updated the current status of what you can do and what you can't, shared the future plans, and left behind a free hands-on workshop for attendees to pursue post-event.
Projects in the observability space tend to gravitate to the CNCF, and Perses jumped into the process of becoming a CNCF Sandbox project. The process took awhile and in mid-August they kicked off voting. Amazingly it only took a few days for the Perses project to pass the number of voted needed to become the newest member in the CNCF Sandbox tier. It was high time you met this new kid on the block!
Below you'll find the abstract, slides and recording for my session for you to pursue at your leisure.
They are providing small bites, drinks, and get some cool PagerDuty swag, so come hang out and meet more automation enthusiasts experts.
There will be a hands-on demo session, a session with new automation tricks to bring back to your team, and my session on Mean-Time-To-Sleep (MTTS).
Join us for a couple of hours of power and chat with PagerDuty's automation specialists and me from Chronosphere to learn more about how to gain control over your telemetry data and observability challenges.

I'm going to be telling a story about how to take back control of your telemetry data. This will be some fun with telemetry pipelines and include several live demos.
Chronosphere will also have a booth so come chat with me about all things observability and pick up some nice SWAG we will be giving away.
Now let's look at the story I'm going to be sharing with the attendees.
This event is one day and focused on Site Reliability, DevOps, and Cloud with a single track of talks. The venue will be the Pongbar, a rather hip location for this event and should be a lot of fun meeting with attendees and speakers.
Graziano and I met last year at Platmosphere and he asked if I would like to collaborate on a talk that brought both his topic of platform engineering and my focus of observability together. How can you not jump at the chance to strengthen our messages together?
Below you will find the abstract for the story we plan to share.
This talk will bring the background, the current status of what you can do and what you can't, share what the future plans are, and leave behind a free hands-on workshop for attendees to pursue post-event.
Are you ready to start your journey on the road to collecting telemetry data from your applications? Great observability begins with great instrumentation!
In this series you'll explore how to adopt OpenTelemetry (OTel) and how to instrument an application to collect tracing telemetry. You'll learn how to leverage out-of-the-box automatic instrumentation tools and understand when it's necessary to explore more advanced manual instrumentation for your applications. By the end of this series you'll have an understanding of how telemetry travels from your applications, to the OpenTelemetry Collector, and be ready to bring OpenTelemetry to your future projects. Everything discussed here is supported by a hands-on, self-paced workshop authored by Paige Cruz.
The previous article explored the first part of how to link metrics to trace data using exemplars, where we configured our application to expose metrics and a Prometheus instance to collect those metrics. In this article we'll look at the second part focused on implementing the exemplars, tying together metrics with our trace data.
This inaugural event was really well done and had four different stages with talks from key-note speakers, leading experts and technical experts, and interactive workshops.
There were a lot of different opportunities for networking across the two day event in sunny Porto, where the food, snacks and drinks throughout the event were nothing short of amazing! There were over +300 attendees at the Alfandega Congress Center which is right on the Douro river, so the views from my session were stunning out over the river.
Below you will find the slides from my session and the abstract.

The previous article explored how developers are able to manually instrument their applications to generate specific metadata for our business to derive better insights faster. In this article we'll look at the first part of how to link metrics to trace data using exemplars.
This year's Infobip Shift EU was from 15-17 September and below you will find the outline of my workshop I'm giving covering observability for Platform Engineers.
My talk was based on an observability workshop collection covering metrics, tracing, pipelines, and visualization of telemetry data. Platform engineering can and should include observability from the basic start of their developer experience and these open source CNCF projects all provide what you need to get started.
Below you will find my slides and the original abstract from my workshop.
I've been attending this event for the last two years since my career took me in the direction of cloud native observability, with CNCF projects like Prometheus being the natural direction I gravitated towards. Since working with Prometheus, I've also gotten involved with Perses, which is focused on providing true open source visualization and dashboards to the users of Prometheus.
Let's look at the talk, the slides, and video recording of my session.

The previous article zoomed into the usage of Jaeger to help developers when visually exploring their telemetry data. In this article we'll help developers with manually instrumenting to add metadata specific to their application or business allowing them to derive better insights faster.
