My thoughts about why "the three pillars" are the wrong way to think about observability:

100% #observability, 100% awesome. Thanks to our customers, partners, investors, and fantastic LightSteppers for this great 2018. Have we mentioned lately that we’re hiring? 💙✨👟 #allbirds

Good discussion on Go modules by Salvador Dolly Parton last night. Dependency management is NP complete. Go mod used Minumum Version Selection. Module cache is similar to Maven Cache in Java. Module proxies and notaries hosted will allow verifiable places to download dependencies.

Every microservices dev needs a world-class tracing system in order to feel confident about prod... and yet most don't have access to one. My colleagues and I want to fix that, and so we couldn't be more excited to announce LightStep Tracing: lightstep.com/blog/long-live…

Hooray, it's here!

Always nice to see some validation of your personal experience working at an awesome company! lightstep.com/blog/lightstep…

This InfoQ podcast is 🔥 Great conversation with Ben Sigelman and Wesley Reisz (Веслі Райс 🇺🇦) on how to build and implement an effective observability strategy infoq.com/podcasts/dappe…

Come chat with me and the team!

You know what would be nice? An easier way to manage distributed systems. Our newest feature, Workflow Links, creates an immediate connection from traces in LightStep to whatever internal or external tools you need to do your job well. lightstep.com/blog/announcin…

More neat things to reduce that click burden when it matters the most.

Two years in and it's still a joy coming to work with these folks, accomplishing the observability outcomes I've dreamt of for almost a decade.

At Chronosphere, we believe that understanding cardinality should be built into the user experience, including query language and purpose-built UI. Would you want to use an API endpoint to get a fraction of this insight?

Stoked for our partnership with Google Cloud. As organizations switch to microservices, containers, and devops they quickly grok the need for observability that can handle the same. Chronosphere was born cloud native, and we love helping customers that are joining us there.
