Show HN: No one cares about observability costs (ycombinator.com)
Morning HN - - I have a quick story about building a startup and misreading the market, and an ask. (The ask: Try out our product>> https://app.datable.io/auth/sandbox) <p>My name is Julian Giuca and I was an early employee at New Relic, where I led their Logging product until 2022. It’s safe to say I have opinions about logs. Sometimes I think they are great. Too often I think we can do much better.

I got OpenTelemetry to work. But why was it so complicated? (iconsolutions.com)
A number of our customers have recently been asking whether we support OpenTelemetry, the observability framework and toolkit. When the first member of the team who’s client-facing asked me – the go-to guy for metrics and logging at IPF – I barely let them finish: “of course! That’s just Prometheus and Jaeger, right? We’ve supported that for years!”

AI agents invade observability: snake oil or the future of SRE? (monitoring2.substack.com)
This newsletter was started 5 years ago to explore emerging observability and monitoring startups. In the most boring sense, these companies take operational data and create insights from that data for humans. This always involves a lot of dashboards, alerts, API integrations, and a large monthly bill.
