Observability for modern ops: correlation across metrics, logs, traces, and events to cut MTTR, curb alert fatigue, and connect service health to business.
Observability 2.0 — Observability Is About Asking Any Question | alok87.in
For years, the observability industry has been telling developers two contradictory things: "Build reliable systems" and "Log less, it's too expensive." This post is about a different shape of data — wide events — that gives you more answers for less money.
OpenTelemetry: A Guide to Observability with Go | Blog
Modern applications are often complex, distributed systems. Debugging them is not fun: you have to follow requests across services, logs get lost, and metrics are often hard to correlate. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack - except the haystack is on fire, and the needle keeps moving. This is where OpenTelemetry (OTel) can help.
All you need is Wide Events, not “Metrics, Logs and Traces”
This quote from Charity Majors is probably the best summary of the current state of observability in the tech industry - a total, mass confusion.
Clickhouse is winning the Observability Wars
For roughly the last ten years, a meaningful percentage of my working hours have been spent thinking about observability. If you're not familiar with the term, "observability" is what we call it now that "monitoring" doesn't sound expensive enough. The actual work is unglamorous in that you collect
Rethinking cloud operations with agentic observability - The Official Microsoft Blog
Cloud operations are entering a new era as AI-driven and autonomous agents become a larger part of modern software systems. As software becomes increasingly agentic, the challenge is no longer just managing greater scale and complexity. Operators must also contend with systems that evolve faster, act more autonomously and interact across an expanding network of...
Why Observability Requires a Distributed Column Store
Alex explains distributed column stores, how they work, why they're so fast, and why that's a fundamental requirement for observability.

Don't Wrap OpenTelemetry — You're Probably Hurting More Than Helping
There’s a pattern I’ve seen across many teams adopting OpenTelemetry, and it’s well-intentioned every single time. An engineer wants to make things easier for the team. They build a thin abstraction over the OTel API — an IMetric interface, a TelemetryHelper class, a MetricsWrapper module — and ship it as the team’s standard. “Just use this,” they say. “It’s simpler.” The intention is genuine. The outcome is usually not good.

Introducing the Open Exchange Architecture
Scientific communication still privileges narrative over utility, while the data, code, protocols, and computation that underpin modern research are pushed into hard-to-access supplements. Rowan Cockett introduces the Open Exchange Architecture (OXA), an emerging, community-driven standard designed to unbundle research from its paper-shaped container and expose the rich evidence underneath it.
