The Future of Observability is Open: Combining Iceberg, ClickHouse®, and OpenTelemetry

Recorded: April 14 @ 08:00 am PDT
Presenters: Joshua Lee

“Observability begs to be open” – perhaps this is how OpenTelemetry has been the exception to the infamous xkcd about format proliferation. But open-source instrumentation is just the start of the solution.

Iceberg is emerging as the de facto standard for data lakehouses, with Parquet as the data format – but the speed isn’t quite up to the task of real-time observability use cases. Project Antalya solves that challenge.

Let’s combine OpenTelemetry, OTLP, Iceberg, and Parquet, with ClickHouse and Spark for query, to build an entirely open-source observability stack:

• One API service for OpenTelemetry-compatible sources
• Infinitely-scalable object storage with Parquet as primary storage
• Real-time query with Iceberg, Spark, and ClickHouse
• Visualization with Grafana

In this webinar, we’ll show the stack working in Docker and show how you could build your own production-ready alternative on cloud services.
