About The Observability Real Talk
The Observability Real Talk newsletter is an honest attempt to talk about all things—observability, OpenTelemetry, open source, and the engineering in between! This is brought to you by SigNoz, an observability platform with 24K+ stars on GitHub and counting. So, if you are an observability fellow or curious about this niche, subscribe to us and let us deliver curated, profoundly technical content straight to your inbox.
You’d love us if you are,
Hyped about OpenTelemetry or using OpenTelemetry for your observability needs.
If you are a DevOps or System Engineer, wanting to step up your game
If you are a generalist engineer trying to expand your horizons
OR if you love engineering lore, we are cooking some good ones for you 🍜
What to expect?
We bring to you highly technical and deeply researched articles about the following,
OpenTelemetry – the latest buzz, how to do the most difficult tasks, and information that’s scarce on the web
Best practices in observability – what works at scale, and what doesn't, backed by real-world examples
Deep dives into metrics, logs, and traces – how to collect, process, and make sense of telemetry data
Open-source observability tooling – comparisons, evaluations, and guidance on what to choose
Performance tuning and debugging workflows – techniques that go beyond the surface to help you debug like a pro
Behind-the-scenes at SigNoz – learnings from our engineers on building an open-source observability platform from the ground up
If this resonates with the kind of content you want in your inbox, tune in!
Join the Crew
We welcome you to join our growing community and contribute to our open-source project.
Also, from fellow Observability fans to others, we at SigNoz are building an open-source, OpenTelemetry-native observability platform (one of its kind). So, show us love - star us on GitHub, nitpick our docs, or just tell your app we’re the ones who’ll catch its crashes mid-flight and finally shush all the 3 am panic calls!
