[Martin Mao @martin_c_mao]

Stoked for our partnership with @googlecloud.

As organizations switch to microservices, containers, and devops they quickly grok the need for observability that can handle the same. @chronosphereio was born cloud native, and we love helping customers that are joining us there.

Chronosphere's Field CTO, Ian Smith (@datasmithing), reporting in LIVE from #Detroit. Hear what Ian's looking forward to this week at #KubeCon + #CloudNativeCon.

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?

[Chronosphere @chronosphereio]

Tracking the #cardinality of your time series data is hard. In our latest blog, Chronosphere experts Ben Raskin, Linas Naginionis and Ales Koprivnikar break down a better, simpler way of understanding cardinality over time. Read about it here: https://t.co/Gdct0OuBLe

[Ian Smith @datasmithing]

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.

How did deep systems break observability?

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

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.

Come chat with me and the team!

We’re looking forward to #OSCON Portland next week! Stop by booth (#523) near the lunch area to learn more about distributed tracing or observability and enter our raffle for a chance to win a Nintendo Switch.

This @infoq podcast is 🔥

Great conversation with @el_bhs and @wesreisz on how to build and implement an effective observability strategy

[Ben Sigelman @el_bhs]

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: https://t.co/axBUnE1y8s

[Go Silicon Valley + Go Bridge @gosv11]

Good discussion on Go modules by @JoeBlubaugh 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.

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? 💙✨👟

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