OpenObservability Talks Third Year at a Glance

OpenObservability Talks celebrated its third anniversary with a return to in-person events and conferences, including a special live episode from the KubeCon event. Throughout the year, the podcast explored various aspects of observability, focusing on challenges associated with monitoring Kubernetes environments and cloud-native technologies, as well as insights from major tech companies like Google and Meta. Prominent projects such as Prometheus and OpenTelemetry were discussed in detail, alongside emerging tools like Backstage and OpenCost. The show highlighted the increasing importance of observability in areas like Platform Engineering and FinOps, with industry experts sharing their experiences and best practices. As Dotan Horovits, the host, was nominated as a CNCF Ambassador, the podcast also served as a media partner for CNCF, providing exclusive insights from its events and leaders. The upcoming fourth year promises more engaging discussions, including a focus on eBay's observability practices, and the introduction of a new CNCF working group on query language standards for observability. The show remains accessible through various platforms and encourages audience interaction during live streams.
