They dig into automated root cause analysis, knowledge graphs, and how AI agents are beginning to operate alongside — and sometimes ahead of — human engineers. The conversation tackles trust, pricing models, data privacy, and whether we’re approaching a future where incidents resolve themselves.

        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode, hosts Mat Ryer and Matt Toback sit down with Ted Young, co-founder of OpenTelemetry, to unpack the real story behind OTel — from its Google origins to today’s push toward zero-touch observability. They explore how OpenTelemetry emerged from the merger of OpenTracing and OpenCensus, why the “three pillars” model may be holding teams back, and what the infamous logs vs. events debate reveals about how the industry thinks about data. Ted breaks down the technical and philosophical shifts happening in observability, including context propagation, structured telemetry, semantic conventions, and why backwards compatibility matters more than most people realize.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode of Grafana’s Big Tent, hosts Mat Ryer and Tom Wilkie sit down with Julius Volz, co-creator of Prometheus and founder of PromLabs, and Richi "RichiH" Hartmann, Prometheus maintainer and Senior Developer Programs Director at Grafana Labs, to unpack Prometheus 3.0. They trace Prometheus back to its beginnings at SoundCloud, where Julius and his colleagues were trying to recreate the magic of Google’s Borgmon. The group dives into why Prometheus stuck with a text-based exposition format, what’s new in 3.0 — including performance gains, revamped UI, UTF-8 support, and native histograms — and how it fits alongside OpenTelemetry. Along the way, they explore governance changes, future directions, and why emojis are now valid in metric names.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Hosts Tom Wilkie and Matt Toback sit down with guests Liz Rice from Isovalent and Mario Macías from Grafana Labs to explore how eBPF is revolutionizing observability, networking, and security in modern infrastructure. They cover what eBPF is (hint: it's no longer just about packet filtering!), the performance advantages of eBPF-based instrumentation compared to traditional methods, what's in store for the future of eBPF, and so much more. Liz and Mario also share their firsthand experiences developing widely-adopted eBPF tools like Cilium, Tetragon, and Grafana Beyla, offering practical insights into how these technologies are transforming observability (and making it awesome!).</p><p><br></p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Darren Murph, Head of Remote at GitLab and author of <em>Living the Remote Dream, </em>joins host Matt Toback to discuss all the advantages of adopting a remote work culture and, in turn, creating a more positive, results-only environment. "There shouldn’t be a focus on availability and visibility," says Darren. "The idea is that we focus on the results. We care a lot less about how you get there, or the clothes you wear while you’re doing it, or at what time of the day or week you accomplish it." Luckily, they also won't care if you take time to listen to this episode and learn more about the personal benefits of remote work and how you can advocate for this shift in your workplace. Added bonus: Instead of all those "This-could've-been-an-email" meetings, your in-person gatherings will quickly become more productive and meaningful. </p><p><br></p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Darren Murph, Head of Remote at GitLab and author of <em>Living the Remote Dream, </em>joins host Matt Toback to discuss all the advantages of adopting a remote work culture and, in turn, creating a more positive, results-only environment. "There shouldn’t be a focus on availability and visibility," says Darren. "The idea is that we focus on the results. We care a lot less about how you get there, or the clothes you wear while you’re doing it, or at what time of the day or week you accomplish it." Luckily, they also won't care if you take time to listen to this episode and learn more about the personal benefits of remote work and how you can advocate for this shift in your workplace. Added bonus: Instead of all those "This-could've-been-an-email" meetings, your in-person gatherings will quickly become more productive and meaningful. </p><p><br></p>]]>

In our premiere episode, hosts Mat Ryer, Tom Wilkie, and Matt Toback dig into key components that help define a successful observability strategy, such as the USE and RED methods, SLO-driven alerting, cost-effective monitoring systems, and more. Added bonus: You'll learn how all of these concepts relate to Tom's impressive knowledge of cooking and the mother sauces. </p>]]>
