🧘♂️ [The following is a guided meditation session for DevOps leaders] 🧘♀️ You may have heard of #BYOC (bring you own cloud), but never before in the context of #observability. Before we start, let's define: BYOC observability means you never have to send your data to a third-party cloud. The entire solution's backend is installed in your environment. As you sit down and close your eyes, take a minute to consider what that could look like. How many barriers would be removed from your road to end-to-end visibility if you didn't have to worry about logs volumes, because it didn't matter. Or about metrics cardinality, for the same reason. Carefully, let your thoughts guide you to a world where you deploy your monitoring solution in your Dev cluster. And in your Staging environment too. Picture having your morning greeting reciprocated by the entire finance team, as you walk by their office. Now, imagine that observability solution has a powerful #eBPF sensor. Zero instrumentation. All instantly available. Never-before seen data granularity. If that's too much for one session, come back to it later today. When you're ready, slowly open your eyes, and press the play button. https://lnkd.in/djWzzj4C

Visualizing distributed traces isn't merely about aesthetics, it's about enabling developers to swiftly identify root causes. Whether addressing system crashes, performance bottlenecks, or debugging issues across distributed systems, effective visualization reduces investigation time, allowing more focus on solutions. Until about a week ago, we enabled visualizing your traces in flame charts, service maps, and tables. That has been effective, but we recognized the need for a more intuitive visualization. This led to the development of our new Waterfall View, offering a clear timeline and duration of traces within a single view. This new view transforms complex trace data into an intuitive, chronological narrative. Each span progresses from left to right, detailing a request's journey through your system. This approach facilitates quick identification of errors and performance bottlenecks, enhancing the efficiency of debugging processes. For example, we recently encountered a missing compression header between our frontend and backend services. Previously, debugging this would have involved sifting through logs across multiple services. With the Waterfall View, we could focus on the relevant request flow, examine headers at each step, and quickly identify that our Nginx proxy wasn't properly propagating the header. What could have taken hours was resolved in minutes. As a DevOps practitioner, you understand the critical role that efficient debugging and performance optimization play in maintaining complex systems. Our latest blog post introduces our new Waterfall View - a feature designed to enhance your tracing experience by providing a clear, chronological visualization of distributed traces. It enables you to swiftly identify performance bottlenecks and errors, streamlining the debugging process. Discover how Waterfall View can transform complex trace data into actionable insights, ultimately improving your system's reliability and performance, in our latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/d5JKu89W

Coming to #aws #reinvent without visiting booth 464 is like... Like watching Game of Thrones and skipping the Red Wedding episode. Like visiting Rome without leaving time for the Colosseum. Like spending the day at Disney World without stopping at "It's a small world after all". Drop by, or you haven't seen anything.

Groundbreaking or Grounds for Disruption? Or Both? 🤯 Israel’s groundcover is flipping observability on its head with eBPF! Orr Benjamin explains how they’re cutting observability costs by 90% while keeping full data coverage—effortless, with no overhead. Their approach lets companies see everything but focus only on what really matters. Is this the future of observability or a major shake-up for the industry? 👀 Stay tuned. Hosted by Yoel Israel

Identifying unnecessary cross-AZ traffic can be a quick fix that help you lower your networking costs. But how would you even get started doing that? How would you know where to look? And how much work would it take? With groundcover, you can do that in less than 2 minutes. groundcover’s advanced #eBPF sensor offers access to full payloads, headers, and request data to determine whether cross-AZ traffic is intended or avoidable. Start with detailed network metrics, isolate cross-AZ communication, and drill down into specific services and APIs driving the traffic. Watch this short clip to see a real example of how easy it is to investigate and optimize your environments with groundcover’s eBPF-powered #observability solution. #lowercosts #networkingcosts #crossaz #devops #finops

As many gear up for the year's only Friday that ends on Monday, our very own Aviv Zohari gives us some cool insight on what this 72 hours-long day means for the people that make sure your experience is smooth. Something to think about, as you press that "Buy Now" button 🙃 #blackfriday #observability #devops

Thank you Horizon Interactive for recognizing our updated website as being the best of the year in the software category, that's quite a statement! We strive to stand out and be different in a market that is otherwise rather monotonous. This mindset is reflected in everything we do - from our product's architecture and our revolutionary approach to observability cost, to our outwards-facing presence - be it conference booth or website. So yes, this award is pretty sweet :) https://lnkd.in/dngdHZYU
