Open Source Summit Europe 2024

In the cloud native era systems are getting ever more dynamic and complex. With containers and microservices architecture, monitoring and troubleshooting systems is more challenging than ever before. The open source community has risen up to the challenge and has delivered solutions that fit modern environments. Established open source projects such as Prometheus and the ELK Stack have gathered massive adoption, while new projects keep emerging and uncovering yet untapped possibilities such as continuous profiling and eBPF. Alongside tools, open standards, such as OpenMetrics and OpenTelemetry, are emerging to converge the industry and prevent vendor lock-in. Goodness, it’s hard to keep track of all that goodness. In this talk Horovits will talk about the recommended open source tools and standards for observability (looking also beyond logs, metrics and traces), and how to combine them to help you achieve effective observability in your environment.
