DevOpsCon New York + Kubernetes Camp Talk: Fast, Cheap, DIY Observability with Open Source Analytics and Visualization & DevOps is a Foreign Language (or Why There Are No Junior SREs)

Joshua Lee – Open Source Developer Advocate at Altinity, will be speaking at DevOpsCon New York.

Come and enjoy Joshua’s talks:

• Fast, Cheap, DIY Observability with Open Source Analytics and Visualization.
• DevOps is a Foreign Language (or Why There Are No Junior SREs)

• Fast, Cheap, DIY Observability with Open Source Analytics and Visualization

Observability is the key to the successful operation of any software service, but commercial solutions are complex, expensive, and slow. Why not do it yourself? This talk will show you how to combine open source services like ClickHouse, OpenTelemetry, and Grafana to deliver simple, fast, and cost-effective monitoring. First, we’ll introduce key elements of your monitoring solution: ingest, query, and visualization. We’ll then dig into an example system showing how to store data efficiently, build queries, and create operational dashboards. Finally, we’ll talk about scaling to trillions of rows of data.

• DevOps is a Foreign Language (or Why There Are No Junior SREs)

DevOps has a notoriously steep learning curve. Getting started in the field can feel like being dropped in a foreign country without the ability to understand anything about the language. A language is more than just the syntax and semantic rules of the words themselves. It also encompasses the shared culture of the speakers. With the proliferation of programming languages as well as the deeply held cultural beliefs of the community, it’s easy to see that learning DevOps is like trying to learn a foreign language. I will review five foundational hypotheses from the field of Second Language Acquisition and relate these hypotheses back to the world of DevOps. DevOps practitioners, trainers, tool builders, and learners should all come away with useful insights to apply to their practice.

DevOpsCon New York is the conference for CI/CD, Kubernetes, Platform Engineering & DevSecOps, and it gathers like-minded professionals to learn, share, and grow. Join us in New York, where industry leaders and innovators will come together to exchange insights, share experiences, and chart the course for the future of DevOps.
