All the ObservabilityCON 2024 on-demand sessions

The on-demand sessions are your chance to find out about all the latest updates to Grafana Cloud and the Grafana LGTM Stack (Loki for logs, Grafana for visualization, Tempo for traces, and Mimir for metrics), watch technical deep-dive sessions, and learn from user success stories.

• Opening keynote. Watch Grafana Labs CEO/Co-founder Raj Dutt, CTO Tom Wilkie, and members of the engineering team share the latest features and AI/ML developments in the Grafana LGTM Stack and Grafana Cloud. And hear from BlackRock Director - Head of Observability Olin Gay and NVIDIA Senior Manager, Resource Governance AI team Aaron Erickson about their observability successes.
• How SailPoint charted a course to cost efficiency with Grafana Cloud. Join Omar Lopez, Head of Observability at SailPoint, as he discusses the challenges of managing growing metrics volumes and explores the strategic decisions and tools, including Grafana Cloud, that helped SailPoint handle the complexities of observability, all while optimizing costs and performance.
• Instrumentation and ingestion in an instant: Demo of Grafana Alloy, Grafana Beyla, and OpenTelemetry. In this video, you’ll learn the basics of Grafana Alloy, open source distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector, and Grafana Beyla, an open source eBPF-based application auto-instrumentation tool. You’ll also see a live demo of how, with a single deployment, you can instantly get your data into Grafana Cloud for unified application and infrastructure observability.
• Troubleshoot faster with unified application and infrastructure observability in Grafana Cloud. Watch a live demo of how contextual alerts have been integrated into Grafana Cloud’s workflows for application, Kubernetes, and infrastructure observability—and more—to speed up root cause analysis.
• From a constellation of tools to a centralized observability stack: Planet’s journey with Grafana Cloud. Join Planet Staff Software Engineer Jacob Straszynski as he walks through the company’s path to Grafana Cloud and a centralized, fully managed observability stack, and learn about their future plans for adopting Pyroscope for profiles and Grafana Cloud solutions for IRM and performance testing.
• Panel discussion: You’ve implemented observability at scale. Now what? Check out this in-depth conversation with observability leaders from Pegasystems and LexisNexis who’ve lived through designing and implementing observability at scale.
• How IG Group embraced an ‘observable by default’ culture with Grafana Cloud. Join IG Group Logging and Telemetry Team Lead Natalie Ujuk as she explains how the company streamlined disparate monitoring solutions into a modern, unified observability stack with Grafana Cloud Metrics, Grafana Cloud Traces, and OpenTelemetry.
• AI/ML in Grafana Cloud: Saving toil, time, and money. See how features like Sift, Asserts, and Adaptive Metrics, which are underpinned by AI/ML, are helping customers achieve value. Plus, find out what’s next for the Adaptive Telemetry cost management suite: Adaptive Logs and beyond.
• TeleTracking’s path to future-proofing its observability practice with Grafana Cloud. Hear how the team behind TeleTracking’s healthcare operations platform avoids failures and quickly recover sfrom issues, while expanding their observability coverage and improving the ability to bring context to problems are top priorities.
• A user’s guide to Grafana Cloud’s end-to-end IRM solution. Discover best practices for making the most of this IRM solution, including leveraging the historical incident data that’s accessible within Grafana Cloud.
• Best practices for faster insights from your metrics, logs, traces, and profiles. Learn about the latest features and functionality in Grafana Labs’ horizontally scalable, highly performant open source telemetry backends.
• How Unity migrated to Grafana Mimir and scaled its metrics backend to 150 million active series. Join Unity Technologies’ Greg Chamber, Senior Software Engineer, and Lukas Monkevicius, Senior Site Reliability Engineer, as they recount the company’s journey to migrate their metrics backend from Thanos to Cortex to Grafana Mimir and how they scaled it to over 150 million active series—and their plans to adopt Grafana Loki for logs and Grafana Tempo for traces.
• Improving developer velocity: How Grafana Cloud helped ASAPP streamline dashboard creation. Watch ASAPP Staff Site Reliability Engineers Ramiro de Zavalia and Pato Arvizu as they discuss their observability journey with Grafana Cloud. They walk through their git-based process for creating dashboards and importing them into Grafana Cloud, with leveraging Kubernetes, Argo, Go, and Python, and discuss how this workflow has impacted developer velocity and cost.
• How to use synthetics, load testing, and real user monitoring to understand your end users’ experience. Find out about the latest developments in Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring, powered by Grafana k6, that help you simulate even the most complex transactions and user journeys. You’ll also learn how synthetics can be used in conjunction with load testing and real user monitoring in Grafana Cloud for a more holistic approach to user-centered observability.
