making observability easy for every developer @dash0hq – he/him

[Ben Blackmore @BenRipkens]

Thrilled to share that after a fulfilling journey as a staff engineer with the innovative teams at @InstanaHQ and @steadybitHQ, I'm embarking on a new venture as Co-Founder and CTO of @dash0hq – where our mission is to simplify observability for developers!

[Ben Blackmore @BenRipkens]

@MarcKlingen @tricalt @dash0hq @mirko_novakovic Having GenAI usage instrumented in a standardized way will be a win all around. Right now most users have to make a choice between several instrumentation SDKs with marginal differences (and we are in the same boat with our our GenAI usage)

[Ben Blackmore @BenRipkens]

@dustindeus @newrelic @dash0hq @SignozHQ You absolutely can with @dash0hq @dustindeus! We actually have guidelines for that within our Go onboarding screens.

Those show how the (standardized) env vars can to be set to directly send telemetry to us – without intermediaries.

@bjacobso @EffectTS_ @dash0hq Personally, I just use a separate dataset within Dash0 called "test" or "local" (not always consistent) for that purpose :)

[Ben Blackmore @BenRipkens]

@bjacobso @EffectTS_ @dash0hq To be honest, though, I also think there is value in using the tool you use for production. For familiarity's sake (one tool less to learn for engineers), to trial correlation, dashboarding, and all the other benefits you get from your tool of choice.

@doertedev Why?

[Ben Blackmore @BenRipkens]

@doertedev Learning regular expressions once is so damn worth it.

[Ben Blackmore @BenRipkens]

@doertedev @amazon Now that's fitting! :)

My wife brought up the same topic: "What about booze? Is that also on sale?"

[Ben Blackmore @BenRipkens]

@amazon's back to school sale is on (in German "Angebote zum Schulbeginn) – and they have some very curious items on sale!

[Ben Blackmore @BenRipkens]

Let's end with a healthy snack (okay, I can relate to this for college folks :) )
