Sat in on the first part of an amazing workshop about what observability is — and is not — as explained by @honeycombio's @lizthegrey at #hnycon. I learned more in a space of an hour than I would have perhaps after days of reading. https://t.co/6K7KLPWX6c @thenewstack#Sponsored
The observability metaphor I've been sharing: imagine finding a needle in a haystack. Before—You might need to re-deploy the world to know what a needle looks like. Today—Your haystack tells you what isn't hay in @honeycombio@o11ycon
👏👏👏👏👏 to @glenathan for a really great, easy to follow, intro to sampling concepts.
There's more nuance to it (see GOAT's Refinery talk in the practical lessons track)! But this was a great take on reimagining your data. #o11ycon#hnycon

@lizthegrey@honeycombio That's what infuriates me about the dumb 3 pillars definitions. Logs are events. Traces are interrelated events. And metrics can be calculated by adding up events.
It's ALL THE SAME DATA! By treating it so differently we lose out on really understanding our systems clearly.
It's also refreshing to hear just how much you can still debug even without distributed tracing. Awesome seeing creative ways to use @honeycombio#o11ycon#hnycon
🔥🔥🔥 breakdown from @glenathan on the nuances of sampling challenges and how to use single ultra-wide events to keep data you might otherwise discard #hnycon#o11ycon in the mysteries solved track!
