Podcasts about Observability

How do you keep complex digital experiences running smoothly when every layer, from networks to cloud infrastructure to applications, can break in ways that frustrate customers and burn out IT teams? This question is at the heart of my conversation recorded live at Cisco Live in San Diego with Patrick Lin, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Observability at Splunk, now part of Cisco. In this episode, Patrick explains how observability has evolved far beyond simple monitoring and is becoming the nerve centre for digital resilience in a world where reactive alerts no longer cut it. We unpack how Splunk and Cisco ThousandEyes are now deeply integrated, giving teams a single source of truth that connects application behaviour, infrastructure health, and network performance, even across systems they do not directly control. Patrick also shares what these two-way integrations mean in practice: faster incident resolution, fewer blame games, and far less time wasted chasing false alerts. We explore how AI is enhancing this vision by cutting through the noise to detect real anomalies, correlate related events, and suggest root causes at a speed no human team could match. If your business depends on staying online and your teams are drowning in disconnected data, this conversation offers a glimpse into the next phase of unified observability and assurance. It might even help quiet the flood of alerts that keep IT professionals awake at night. How is your organisation tackling alert fatigue and rising complexity? Listen in and tell me what strategies you have found that actually work.

Hi, Spring fans! In this episode, I talk to Micrometer.io lead Tommy Ludwig on the latest-and-greatest in observability for the Spring developer

Mark Ericksen, creator of the Elixir LangChain framework, joins the Elixir Wizards to talk about LLM integration in Elixir apps. He explains how LangChain abstracts away the quirks of different AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic's Claude, Google's Gemini) so you can work with any LLM in one more consistent API. We dig into core features like conversation chaining, tool execution, automatic retries, and production-grade fallback strategies. Mark shares his experiences maintaining LangChain in a fast-moving AI world: how it shields developers from API drift, manages token budgets, and handles rate limits and outages. He also reveals testing tactics for non-deterministic AI outputs, configuration tips for custom authentication, and the highlights of the new v0.4 release, including “content parts” support for thinking-style models. Key topics discussed in this episode: • Abstracting LLM APIs behind a unified Elixir interface • Building and managing conversation chains across multiple models • Exposing application functionality to LLMs through tool integrations • Automatic retries and fallback chains for production resilience • Supporting a variety of LLM providers • Tracking and optimizing token usage for cost control • Configuring API keys, authentication, and provider-specific settings • Handling rate limits and service outages with degradation • Processing multimodal inputs (text, images) in Langchain workflows • Extracting structured data from unstructured LLM responses • Leveraging “content parts” in v0.4 for advanced thinking-model support • Debugging LLM interactions using verbose logging and telemetry • Kickstarting experiments in LiveBook notebooks and demos • Comparing Elixir LangChain to the original Python implementation • Crafting human-in-the-loop workflows for interactive AI features • Integrating Langchain with the Ash framework for chat-driven interfaces • Contributing to open-source LLM adapters and staying ahead of API changes • Building fallback chains (e.g., OpenAI → Azure) for seamless continuity • Embedding business logic decisions directly into AI-powered tools • Summarization techniques for token efficiency in ongoing conversations • Batch processing tactics to leverage lower-cost API rate tiers • Real-world lessons on maintaining uptime amid LLM service disruptions Links mentioned: https://rubyonrails.org/ https://fly.io/ https://zionnationalpark.com/ https://podcast.thinkingelixir.com/ https://github.com/brainlid/langchain https://openai.com/ https://claude.ai/ https://gemini.google.com/ https://www.anthropic.com/ Vertex AI Studio https://cloud.google.com/generative-ai-studio https://www.perplexity.ai/ https://azure.microsoft.com/ https://hexdocs.pm/ecto/Ecto.html https://oban.pro/ Chris McCord's ElixirConf EU 2025 Talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojL_VHc4gLk Getting started: https://hexdocs.pm/langchain/gettingstarted.html https://ash-hq.org/ https://hex.pm/packages/langchain https://hexdocs.pm/igniter/readme.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM9iQlQSFg @brainlid on Twitter and BlueSky Special Guest: Mark Ericksen.

Wer darf eigentlich was? Und sollten wir alle wirklich alles dürfen?Jedes Tech-Projekt beginnt mit einer simplen Frage: Wer darf eigentlich was? Doch spätestens wenn das Startup wächst, Kunden Compliance fordern oder der erste Praktikant an die Produktionsdatenbank rührt, wird Role Based Access Control (RBAC) plötzlich zur Überlebensfrage – und wer das Thema unterschätzt, hat schnell die Rechtehölle am Hals.In dieser Folge nehmen wir das altbekannte Konzept der rollenbasierten Zugriffskontrolle auseinander. wir klären, welches Problem RBAC eigentlich ganz konkret löst, warum sich hinter den harmlosen Checkboxen viel technische Tiefe und organisatorisches Drama verbirgt und weshalb RBAC nicht gleich RBAC ist.Dabei liefern wir dir Praxis-Insights: Wie setzen Grafana, Sentry, Elasticsearch, OpenSearch oder Tracing-Tools wie Jäger dieses Rechtekonzept um? Wo liegen die Fallstricke in komplexen, mehrmandantenfähigen Systemen?Ob du endlich verstehen willst, warum RBAC, ABAC (Attribute-Based), ReBAC (Relationship-Based) und Policy Engines mehr als nur Buzzwords sind oder wissen möchtest, wie du Policies, Edge Cases und Constraints in den Griff bekommst, darum geht es in diesem Deep Dives.Auch mit dabei: Open Source-Highlights wie Casbin, SpiceDB, OpenFGA und OPA und echte Projekt- und Startup-Tipps für pragmatischen Start und spätere Skalierung.Bonus: Ein Märchen mit Kevin und Max, wo auch manchmal der Praktikant trotzdem gegen den Admin gewinnt

Two main ways have been proposed to secure this much-desired system's view. Agent.  One approach is to put a bit of code on each device, called an “agent” method.  It is good for granular control, but can slow down a scan and must be maintained Agentless.  Bryan Rosensteel from Wiz describes something called a “agentless” method to gain visibility into complex systems.  This method leverages infrastructure and protocols to accomplish the scanning objective much faster. Bryan Rosensteel states that in a world of constant attacks, this faster method allows for rapid updates to threats. Beyond better observation, an agentless method, like the one provided by Wiz, allows for compliance automation, continuous monitoring, and sets the groundwork for effective Zero Trust implementation.

Martin Mao is the co-founder and CEO of Chronosphere, an observability platform built for the modern containerized world. Prior to Chronosphere, Martin led the observability team at Uber, tackling the unique challenges of large-scale distributed systems. With a background as a technical lead at AWS, Martin brings unique experience in building scalable and reliable infrastructure. In this episode, he shares the story behind Chronosphere, its approach to cost-efficient observability, and the future of monitoring in the age of AI.What you'll learn:The specific observability challenges that arise when transitioning to containerized environments and microservices architectures, including increased data volume and new problem sources.How Chronosphere addresses the issue of wasteful data storage by providing features that identify and optimize useful data, ensuring customers only pay for valuable insights.Chronosphere's strategy for competing with observability solutions offered by major cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, focusing on specialized end-to-end product.The innovative ways in which Chronosphere's products, including their observability platform and telemetry pipeline, improve the process of detecting and resolving problems.How Chronosphere is leveraging AI and knowledge graphs to normalize unstructured data, enhance its analytics engine, and provide more effective insights to customers.Why targeting early adopters and tech-forward companies is beneficial for product innovation, providing valuable feedback for further improvements and new features. How observability requirements are changing with the rise of AI and LLM-based applications, and the unique data collection and evaluation criteria needed for GPUs.Takeaways:Chronosphere originated from the observability challenges faced at Uber, where existing solutions couldn't handle the scale and complexity of a containerized environment.Cost efficiency is a major differentiator for Chronosphere, offering significantly better cost-benefit ratios compared to other solutions, making it attractive for companies operating at scale.The company's telemetry pipeline product can be used with existing observability solutions like Splunk and Elastic to reduce costs without requiring a full platform migration.Chronosphere's architecture is purposely single-tenanted to minimize coupled infrastructures, ensuring reliability and continuous monitoring even when core components go down.AI-driven insights for observability may not benefit from LLMs that are trained on private business data, which can be diverse and may cause models to overfit to a specific case.Many tech-forward companies are using the platform to monitor model training which involves GPU clusters and a new evaluation criterion that is unlike general CPU workload.The company found a huge potential by scrubbing the diverse data and building knowledge graphs to be used as a source of useful information when problems are recognized.Subscribe to Startup Project for more engaging conversations with leading entrepreneurs!→ Email updates: ⁠https://startupproject.substack.com/⁠#StartupProject #Chronosphere #Observability #Containers #Microservices #Uber #AWS #Monitoring #CloudNative #CostOptimization #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #LLM #MLOps #Entrepreneurship #Podcast #YouTube #Tech #Innovation

Prequel is launching a new developer-focused service aimed at democratizing software error detection—an area typically dominated by large cloud providers. Co-founded by Lyndon Brown and Tony Meehan, both former NSA engineers, Prequel introduces a community-driven observability approach centered on Common Reliability Enumerations (CREs). CREs categorize recurring production issues, helping engineers detect, understand, and communicate problems without reinventing solutions or working in isolation. Their open-source tools, cre and prereq, allow teams to build and share detectors that catch bugs and anti-patterns in real time—without exposing sensitive data, thanks to edge processing using WebAssembly.The urgency behind Prequel's mission stems from the rapid pace of AI-driven development, increased third-party code usage, and rising infrastructure costs. Traditional observability tools may surface symptoms, but Prequel aims to provide precise problem definitions and actionable insights. While observability giants like Datadog and Splunk dominate the market, Brown and Meehan argue that engineers still feel overwhelmed by data and underpowered in diagnostics—something they believe CREs can finally change.Learn more from The New Stack about the latest Observability insights Why Consolidating Observability Tools Is a Smart MoveBuilding an Observability Culture: Getting Everyone Onboard Join our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game. 

Su Milazzo talks about the role of operations in UX, especially where design and research operations overlap. She explains that operations work to reduce friction and improve workflows for internal teams, using empathy and change management to help them succeed.

"Having the insight and being able to stitch together your technical resources and business decisions together, is the prime place where observability can add value to you,” stated Manesh Tailor, EMEA Field CTO at New Relic.In this episode of the Tech Transformed podcast, Kevin Petrie, Vice President of Research at BARC, speaks with Manesh Tailor about the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and observability, and how this is positively changing business operations.Tailor emphasises how intelligent observability has changed beyond simple monitoring to provide real-time insights into customer experience and the entire technology stack. This enables informed decisions across engineering, operations, and business domains, directly linking technical performance to strategic business outcomes.He also discusses the different stages observability has been through and where it's leading to now. The current wave, Observability 3.0, takes advantage of AI to predict issues and even enable self-healing systems. New Relic has embraced this two-way street, using AI within its platform. This was in an ambition to help users and "AI monitoring" to track the performance of language models alongside traditional metrics. Such a platform provides a holistic view of system health and the cost implications of AI deployments.Alluding to the management of AI-powered applications, Tailor says collaboration is key between application and data science teams. Not only does it provide real time data but as a result leads to efficient decision making.Futuristically, the speedy proliferation of AI agents has both pros and cons for observability. This is where New Relic comes in. It addresses the challenges by constructing a platform-centric "AI orchestrator" with a growing library of AI-native agents. In essence, as AI-powered applications become increasingly integral to business operations, intelligent observability is no longer optional. TakeawaysObservability is crucial for understanding unknowns in systems.AI enhances observability by providing predictive insights.The evolution of observability includes intelligent monitoring.Collaboration between technical and business teams is essential.Cost efficiency is a key focus in modern observability.Real-time data is vital for effective decision-making.Self-healing systems represent the future of observability.AI and observability must work in tandem for success.The complexity of systems is increasing, requiring better tools.Observability is applicable across all organizational levels.Chapters00:00 Introduction to AI and Observability03:10 Defining Observability and Its Evolution05:49 The Role of AI in Observability08:46 Navigating AI-Driven Applications11:52 Target Users and Community for Observability14:57 Collaboration Across Teams17:55 Challenges and Opportunities in Observability20:47 The Future of Observability and AI23:54 Key Takeaways for CIOs and IT LeadersAbout New RelicThe New Relic Intelligent Observability Platform empowers businesses to proactively eliminate disruptions in their digital experiences.
