End-of-Year Observability Retrospective with Charity Majors - OpenObservability Talks S5E07
from OpenObservability Talks · host Dotan Horovits
In this special year-end episode of OpenObservability Talks, we are thrilled to host Charity Majors, co-founder and CTO of Honeycomb, for an insightful conversation on the state of observability. Charity and our host Horovits recently delivered keynotes at Open Source Observability Day, which sparked fascinating discussions on the evolution of open observability and its impact on the broader industry. Together, they run a 2024 yearly postmortem on the key insights and trends, exploring what the observability community and industry have accomplished this year. Looking ahead, they also discuss what’s on the horizon for observability in 2025 and beyond. Charity Majors pioneered the concept of modern Observability, drawing on her years of experience building and managing massive distributed systems at Parse (acquired by Facebook), Facebook, and Linden Lab building Second Life. She is the co-author of Observability Engineering and Database Reliability Engineering (O'Reilly). Join us for this fireside chat as we wrap up the year with the influential voices in observability.
