Effortless Open Source Observability with Cilium, Prometheus and Grafana

Explore how Cilium, powered by eBPF, provides effortless observability for applications without code modifications in this informative conference talk. Learn about leveraging Cilium with Hubble and the Grafana LGTM stack to monitor service-to-service communication, track golden signals, detect network issues, and identify problematic API requests through transparent tracing. Watch a live demonstration showcasing performance metrics for a demo application under increasing request volumes and observe how metrics change when configuration introduces errors and increases request duration. Discover how Hubble HTTP metrics can export tracing headers as exemplars, linking metrics to traces in Grafana for comprehensive request monitoring using Tempo. Gain valuable insights into monitoring service connectivity and collecting tracing data and golden metrics using standard Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry exported from Cilium and eBPF.
