Could Observability-Driven Development Be the Next Leap?
Twenty years ago Kent Beck coined the term “test-driven development”: write tests first, develop the code later. Today, even if not practising true TDD, the idea of writing code without tests is an immediate warning sign to any developer. Yet, most teams still continue shipping code without adequate instrumentation to observe real system behaviour in production. Is it time we move to observability-driven development: “instrument first, develop later”?

Profiles, the Missing Pillar: Continuous Profiling in Practice
Tuesday Apr 5 / 11:50AM BST
With Continuous Profiling (CP) you capture resource usage (such as CPU, memory, I/O, etc.) over time, enabling you to pinpoint the (source) code that is slow or causes an issue. In recent times, CP has become mainstream and a number of open source projects such as Parca, Pyroscope, or CNCF...

Slack’s DNSSEC Rollout: Third Time’s the Outage
Tuesday Apr 5 / 02:55PM BST
We all have to manage DNS. DNS changes are inherently high-blast-radius and high-visibility. We present a case study of what happened when a large SaaS company enabled DNSSEC. We did significant planning and testing beforehand. The rollout went smoothly for most of our domains, but one...

An Observable Service with No Logs
Tuesday Apr 5 / 10:35AM BST
After working with Honeycomb for a little while and starting to instrument our existing code with events, I’d become enamoured with the level of observability possible with that sort of telemetry. In particular, how easy it became to interactively and visually explore how my systems were...

Chaos Engineering Observability with Visual Metaphors
Tuesday Apr 5 / 01:40PM BST
Observability is key in operating a system in production; it’s required during an incident, when an operator has to interrogate, inspect, and piece together what happened to avoid a similar event. In those scenarios, Chaos engineering and Observability are closely connected - providing...
