Chaos testing of a Postgres cluster on Kubernetes

How do modern engineering teams keep applications running reliably and resolve issues quickly when they arise? This session explores how robust observability, built on the right instrumentation approaches, gives developers the visibility they need into both application and infrastructure components.

We walk through the core pillars of observability, covering metrics, logs, and traces, and examine the OpenTelemetry framework as a foundation for modern instrumentation. The session also explores dynamic instrumentation using eBPF, offering a look at how teams can gain deep telemetry without the traditional overhead.

A key focus is the challenges that come with modern architectures. As microservices have become the norm, observability has grown more complex. We discuss practical strategies for addressing those challenges and building visibility that scales with your infrastructure.
