Building Observability for the Innovators
Co-Founder of Grafana Labs, Anthony Woods, joins to share his perspective on how open source solutions are thriving despite the deluge of pull requests being thrown at them through their open source repositories.
Most importantly, he outlines how observability is no longer being done by users looking directly at dashboards. The data rarely makes to LLMs or automation, it rarely makes sense even to humans looking at them, without the context. The context is critical component, and having a model that was built on the semantic concepts relevant to your use cases.
And of course we can't stay away from asking on the record the current state of security of open source repositories from a vendor side. Given how their was an inevitable incident with some of the Grafana open source repos, we dig in to figure out how they are dealing with the real world impacts of malware being spread throughout the ecosystem.
