Come and enjoy Joshua's talk: O11y in One: Exploring ClickHouse as a Unified Telemetry Database.
This talk showcases seamless integrations between ClickHouse and key tools like OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana, fostering greater interoperability. It drives innovation in observability by addressing the challenge of fragmented monitoring systems through a unified telemetry solution.
The Open Tech Day 2025 Talks - Grafana Edition: Unified Observability: Leveraging ClickHouse as a Comprehensive Telemetry Database & Grafana Dashboards as Prompt
The Open Tech Day - Grafana Edition Conference brings together professionals from various sectors to explore topics such as Grafana’s latest features, real-world applications, and best practices in monitoring. In addition to technical content, Open Tech Day 2025 offers opportunities for networking and exchange within the open source and observability communities.
Our Altinity colleagues will share with us their knowledge through the following talks: Grafana Dashboards as Prompt - Denys Kondratenko & Unified Observability: Leveraging ClickHouse as a Comprehensive Telemetry Database - Alkin Tezuysal.
Devopsdays Philadelphia 2025 Talk - DevOps is a Foreign Language
Our colleague Joshua Lee will be speaking at Devopsdays Philadelphia 2025: DevOps is a Foreign 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. Josh 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 + Kubernetes Camp Talk: Fast, Cheap, DIY Observability with Open Source Analytics and Visualization
Joshua Lee - Open Source Developer Advocate at Altinity, will be speaking at DevOpsCon New York - 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.
Texas Linux Festival 2025 Talk: Magical Mystery Tour: A Roundup of Observability Datastores
Joshua Lee - Open Source Developer Advocate at Altinity, will be speaking at Texas Linux Festival 2025.
Come and enjoy Joshua's talk - Magical Mystery Tour: A Roundup of Observability Datastores.
From plain-old Postgres to the LGTM stack, ELK, Cassandra, and ClickHouse, the landscape of telemetry storage options is as vast as it is overwhelming.
In this talk, Joshua will guide attendees through the foundational principles of telemetry—covering metrics, traces, logs, profiles, and wide events—and break down the strengths and limitations of different database technologies for each use case.
SeaGL 2025 Talk: What's a Data Lake and What Does It Mean For My Open Source Analytics Stack?
Our CEO, Robert Hodges, is presenting the talk What’s a Data Lake and What Does It Mean For My Open Source Stack? at the SeaGL 2025 Conference. The 2025 conference will be held November 7-8.
Data lakes on open table formats like Iceberg are a popular way to manage large datasets for analytics, data science, and AI. This talk explains how data lakes work and how to adapt open-source analytic stacks to use them. First, we'll tour projects like Arrow, Iceberg, and Unity Catalog that make data lakes possible. Next, we'll see how analytics engines like DuckDB, ClickHouse, and Spark are adapting. Finally, we'll survey a few projects that enable applications written in Python, Golang, or Rust to deliver fast queries. You'll have to build the app yourself, but this talk will show you a path to use data lakes and open source successfully.
