Session: 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 introduce key elements of your monitoring solution: ingest, query, and visualization. We 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.
