DevConf 2024

 DevConf 2024

 Update: talk is now online at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-EB4d4FsyE

I'm doing a talk on Observability and wanted to add a few links with more information for people taking an interest.

Slides of my talk are on speakerdeck and the repo of my playground

Some useful guides

 Structured logging

A good intro to how rate queries work in Prometheus by Beorn Rabenstein (youtube)

A guide on how to do SLOs that I like

An interesting look to the future: https://hazelweakly.me/blog/redefining-observability/

Honeycomb's sandboxes 

Grafana Docs and playground

(Edit 09.01.2025) This post on structured logging is also really useful and worth adding to this post

Historical section

An old video by Coda Hale on metrics. The video and tech (dropwizard) are dated but I found it a good intro anyway

A bit more on how Netflix used to do deployments.  

Sam Newman's talk as mentioned
