Cloud Native Spotlight: KEDA & Dapr Projects - OpenObservability Talks S6E04
from OpenObservability Talks · host Dotan Horovits
In this episode we explore how Dapr and KEDA—two CNCF graduated projects—are reshaping cloud-native application development and what that means for observability. From event-driven architectures to autoscaling and service runtime, we discuss how these building blocks fit into modern systems. We discuss major capabilities around resilience, scalability, observability and even agentic AI support.Our guest for this episode is Yaron Schneider, co-creator of both Dapr and KEDA projects, and co-founder and CTO of Diagrid. He also brings years of leadership at Microsoft on scalable cloud architecture.You can read the recap posts: Part 1 - Dapr: https://medium.com/p/eb2f4013d9a1/Part 2 - KEDA: https://medium.com/p/d74f75c0021a/Show Notes:00:00 - episode intro01:19 - guest intro and Dapr & KEDA intro04.53 - why Microsoft created KEDA14:43 - why Microsoft decided to open-source KEDA16:58 - why Microsoft created Dapr24:52 - observability in Dapr33:38 - shifting from logs to traces 37:46 - building a startup around foundation-led open source46:22 - agentic AI support in Dapr49:11 - Dapr updates and roadmap52:15 - KEDA updates and roadmap53:50 - Dapr at KubeCon NA55:08 - Jaeger celebrates 10th anniversary56:13 - OpenTelemetry Collector user survey56:58 - proposal for a new OTel SIG for resource metadata semantic conventions1:00:00 - outro Resources:Dapr: https://dapr.io/KEDA: https://keda.sh/ Dapr accepted to graduation, Dec 2024, my LI post: https://www.linkedin.com/embed/feed/update/urn:li:share:7262354292794159105 Announcing Dapr AI Agents: https://www.cncf.io/blog/2025/03/12/announcing-dapr-ai-agents/ Jaeger 10th anniversary: https://medium.com/jaegertracing/jaeger-at-10-forged-in-community-reborn-in-opentelemetry-621d4eabdedaJaeger v2 and alignment with OpenTelemetry: https://medium.com/p/be612dbee774Proposal for a new OpenTelemetry SIG: Service and Deployment Semantic Conventions: https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/pull/2837/ OTel Collector Follow-up Survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfbpqBcCVfmRj_Rk_Sd6zaBGpfzGSBvSZ6CdVn6PPBbbmPIOw/viewform Socials:BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/openobservability.bsky.socialTwitter: https://twitter.com/OpenObservLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/openobservability/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@openobservabilitytalksDotan Horovits============Twitter: https://twitter.com/horovits LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/horovits/ BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/horovits.bsky.social Mastodon: https://fosstodon.org/@horovitsYaron Schneider==============Twitter: https://x.com/yaronschneiderLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yaron-schneider-2130b7a3/ The podcast episodes are available for listening on your favorite podcast app and on YouTube.
