OpenObservability Talks

We are overdue for a vendor neutral industry wide event dedicated to our favorite topic - open observability.

Last month (June 2025) the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) ran the first-ever Open Observability Summit, bringing together the world’s best experts in the field in a day packed with talks from project maintainers, end users and practitioners.

We’re proud partners of the event, and are here to bring you the highlights from this industry-shaping event.

This special episode has two parts, one recorded onsite before the event, covering conference goals, and insights from the talk submissions, and the other recorded after the event, covering the highlights of the events and the talks. 

The guests for is episode are two observability veterans: Alok Bhide, member of the event’s content committee and head of product innovation at Chronosphere; and Henrik Rexed, developer advocate at Dynatrace, CNCF Ambassador, and host of Is It Observable podcast.

Catch up on everything you need to know from the first-ever Open Observability Summit.

OpenSearch has become a cornerstone of open source search and observability, empowering developers and organizations to derive meaningful insights from unstructured data at scale.

The past year marks a significant milestone in its journey, with OpenSearch officially joining The Linux Foundation, further cementing its position in the open source ecosystem.

Now, after two years of 2.x, the next major release is here, and it brings significant advancements in performance, data management, vector database functionality, and much more. In this episode we dive into the 3.0 release, across lexical, semantic, and hybrid search, vector database improvements, observability capabilities, performance boosts, and much more. We also look at the community and ecosystem, the recent move of the project under The Linux Foundation, and some of the interesting use cases out there.  

Our guests for this episode are Carl Meadows, Chair of the Governing Board of the OpenSearch Software Foundation, and Pallavi Priyadarshini, member of the Technical Steering Committee and the OpenSearch 3.0 release manager.

The episode was live-streamed on 9 June 2025 and the video is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4T-ksTAmxg

The ClickHouse® project is a rising star in observability and analytics, challenging performance conventions with its breakneck speed. This open source OLAP column store, originally developed at Yandex to power their web analytics platform at massive scale, has quickly evolved into one of the hottest open source observability data stores around. Its published performance benchmarks have been the topic of conversation, outperforming many legacy databases and setting a new bar for fast queries over large volumes of data.

Our guest for this episode is Robert Hodges, CEO of Altinity — the second largest contributor to the ClickHouse project. With over 30 years of experience in databases, Robert brings deep insights into how ClickHouse is challenging legacy databases at scale. We’ll also explore Altinity’s just-launched groundbreaking open source project—Project Antalya—which extends ClickHouse with Apache Iceberg shared storage, unlocking dramatic improvements in both performance and cost efficiency. Think 90% reductions in storage costs and 10 to 100x faster queries, all without requiring any changes to your existing applications.

Observability into mobile native applications presents unique challenges, from capturing real user interactions to dealing with network constraints and battery efficiency. In this episode of OpenObservability Talks, we explore the special characteristics of client-side telemetry, and how OpenTelemetry helps generate mobile client telemetry for real user monitoring (RUM), enabling deeper insights into performance and user experience. 

We host Hanson Ho, Android architect at Embrace and an approver on the OpenTelemetry Android SDK. Hanson brings a wealth of experience from Twitter, Salesforce and SAP. He will share his expertise on instrumenting mobile apps, the evolution of OpenTelemetry for Android, and best practices for collecting and analyzing mobile telemetry. Tune in to learn how to bring OpenTelemetry-powered observability to your mobile applications!

Shopify operates at massive scale, running thousands of services and processing billions of events per second. To tackle the challenges of observability at this scale, they built Observe—an in-house observability stack that makes use of open-source tools and specifications. In fact, they replaced an older vendors-based system, in an awe-inspiring migration project. But why build their own stack? Which open source tools did they use? How did they shape the user experience to their needs?

Joining us to unpack Shopify’s journey is Elijah McPherson, an engineering leader with deep expertise in observability and distributed systems. Elijah led the complete rebuild of Shopify’s observability stack and now also oversees jobs, caching, search, and ClickHouse infrastructure. Tune in to hear firsthand insights from one of the most innovative purpose-built observability implementations in production today!

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.
