In this episode, we’re talking to Michael Hausenblas. Michael is an open source observability enthusiast and is currently part of the open source service team at AWS. This means that he keeps a close eye on new open source platforms and technologies like Promotheus, Grafana and - of course - OpenTelemetry to see how AWS should integrate with these new technologies to provide the most value for the customer. Michael also wrote a couple of books about observability, he has a weekly observability newsletter that you can sign up for and he’s very active on Twitter, so we’ll make sure to add links to these in the transcript of this episode on our website, stackstate.com.
