Nimbus.dev founder Kevin Lin

Nimbus helps companies optimize their observability costs, especially when using tools like Datadog. By identifying common log patterns and aggregating similar log entries, Nimbus can reduce the billable data volume by 80-90% without losing any of the underlying observability data. This allows companies to drastically cut their observability costs without sacrificing visibility or insights. Nimbus achieves these savings by sitting in between the customer and their observability vendor, processing and optimizing the data before sending it to the vendor.

Chris taught himself on-the-job, initially automating his job with PHP and gradually transitioning into a software engineering career. 00:00 Cold open 00:54 Introduction 02:53 Programming background 06:49 University experience 13:52 PHP is the ultimate productive language 26:49 New programming tools 32:56 LLMs

Leading the industry with Open Source | Ben Sigelman of OpenTelemetry

Two open-source projects emerged to address this challenge: OpenTracing and OpenCensus. OpenTracing focused on distributed tracing, tracking requests across complex systems. OpenCensus, on the other hand, offered a wider scope, including tracing alongside metrics collection. In 2019, recognizing the strengths of both projects and the benefits of a unified approach, OpenTracing and OpenCensus merged to form OpenTelemetry. This collaboration brought together their respective communities and fostered a single, well-supported solution for application observability. Today, OpenTelemetry is a thriving project under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, offering a future-proof path for monitoring the complexities of modern software. 00:00:00:00 Cold open 00:01:32:13 Ben's introduction 00:03:21:23 Social media to Lightstep 00:06:53:11 A hard pivot for Lightstep 00:08:39:22 Starting OTel 00:13:02:09 Early days of OTel 00:15:31:15 Instrumenting Google 00:19:19:10 OTel vs Lightstep 00:24:39:19 Potential improvements 00:30:03:16 Cardinality 00:34:32:09 Outro
