The recordings of the Observability Day NA 2023 are now available for you to binge-watch and I can tell you that you won't get bored too quickly: overall we're talking 15 sessions here ;)
AWS o11y updates
My colleagues Ashish Bhatia and David Kilze wrote .NET Observability with OpenTelemetry – Part 1: Metrics using Amazon Managed Prometheus and Grafana.

Yours truly's thoughts on instrumentation. Heads-up: I'm working on a hands-on piece that shows instrumentation in practice (using OTel for log collection), so stay tuned!
That was it for this edition of the o11y newsletter. Feel free to share news items with me via Twitter—DMs are open if you like to share something in private. Stay safe and hope to see you around next week!
