Ryan, and the rest of the Pyroscope team, joined Grafana Labs, where he is now a Director of Engineer. Ryan discusses the main concerns in continuous profiling and how to avoid those pitfalls. Pyroscope is an open-source project for aggregating continuous profiling data about your system&rsquo;s resources.</p> <div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;"> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share; fullscreen" loading="eager" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pzNRvMQzrJ0?autoplay=0&amp;controls=1&amp;end=0&amp;loop=0&amp;mute=0&amp;start=0" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border:0;" title="YouTube video"></iframe> </div> <h2 id="links">Links</h2> <ul> <li>Pyroscope <a href="https://grafana.com/docs/pyroscope/">docs</a></li> <li>Pyroscope <a href="https://pyroscope.io/">site</a></li> <li>Pyroscope <a href="https://github.com/grafana/pyroscope">repo</a></li> <li>Weigh in on the <a href="https://github.com/open-telemetry/oteps/pull/239">OpenTelemetry Profiling Data Model</a></li> </ul>https://nicolevanderhoeven.com/blog/20240105-goh25-introduction-to-ebpf-with-grafana-beyla/Fri, 05 Jan 2024 18:03:52 +0100https://nicolevanderhoeven.com/blog/20240105-goh25-introduction-to-ebpf-with-grafana-beyla/<p>Nikola Grčevski, Principal Software Engineer at Grafana Labs, gives us an introduction to eBPF with Grafana Beyla. We discuss what is eBPF, how you can use it to auto-instrument applications, and how to get started with Beyla. eBPF observability is all the rage because we all want automagical instrumentation&ndash; but does it live up to that promise? Nikola&rsquo;s here to tell us what eBPF can and can&rsquo;t do, and where he&rsquo;d like to take Beyla next.</p> <div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;"> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share; fullscreen" loading="eager" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZEUzucqXUnQ?autoplay=0&amp;controls=1&amp;end=0&amp;loop=0&amp;mute=0&amp;start=0" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border:0;" title="YouTube video"></iframe> </div> <h2 id="links">Links</h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://github.com/grafana/beyla">Grafana Beyla repo</a></li> <li><a href="https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/monitor-applications/beyla/">Grafana Beyla docs</a></li> <li><a href="https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/monitor-applications/application-observability/">Application Observability docs</a></li> </ul>https://nicolevanderhoeven.com/blog/20231208-goh23-getting-started-with-opentelemetry/Fri, 08 Dec 2023 17:00:23 +0100https://nicolevanderhoeven.com/blog/20231208-goh23-getting-started-with-opentelemetry/<p>Principal Engineer Juraci Paixão Kröhling talks to my colleague <a href="https://javaducky.com">Paul Balogh</a> and me about getting started with OpenTelemetry: what it is, why everyone&rsquo;s talking about it, and how to instrument your systems and improve their reliability and observability.
