GeeCON 2022: Sebastian Gębski - Spectacles on steroids - modern observability for cloud apps

Modern-day distributed systems are anything but simple. Schedulers, sidecars, dynamic routing, server-side discovery, proxied connections - all these (useful) concepts increase the operational complexity for specified activities as: identifying where an issue propagates from, tracing request's processing graph, nailing down the root origin of the problem. Not even mentioning the proactive early informing - detecting an inevitable issue before it escalates. This session will be dedicated to modern telemetry and how it can be implemented in the cloud (on AWS). We'll traverse all the pillars of observability (centralized logs, metrics, SIEM, distributed tracing) and how they are supported with managed, ready-to-use services (CloudWatch, X-Ray, CodeGuru). We'll take a look at the integration with popular OSS products (Grafana, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry) and we'll draft any mention telemetry architectures for distributed applications in the cloud.
