Andy Baio offers reflections on a 20 year career in creative technology, including lessons learned as a festival organizer, developer, and writer. He'll share the story of his most recent creation, Skittish, and how recent circumstances highlighted the need for safe, playful community spaces that allow for organic human connection.

We're very excited to say that we'll share this session, along with all of Nerd Island, in the debut demonstration of Skittish, his new virtual event space.

As part of this session you will learn how to set up monitoring for your AWS EC2 hosts and monitor a Node.js app hosted there along with the front-end Browser app and logs coming in from the Infrastructure. We will also setup a Synthetics check to generate some traffic for our web app. Once all the monitoring is in place, we will bring it all together by looking at and making sense of the data within New Relic.

Sometimes things go wrong. When your application stops working well, you need to explain to your customers what happened, why it happened and why it’s not going to happen again. Let me show you how we leverage New Relic Alerts, APM, Dashboards and NRQL to do exactly that by showing you a real world example of when my phone went off at 7pm and what we did next.

Join Kelsey Hightower and Jonan Scheffler as they take a look back through the annals of Observability to find the “wow” moments. Kelsey recalls working at Puppet Labs in the age of Nagios, when the monitoring for downtime occasionally became the source of the downtime itself, and how it felt to open New Relic for the first time. Installing a single library and having instant access to an entire world of information was a game changer. We’ll walk through that moment and then carry the torch on to the present and future of Kubernetes, the Linux kernel and serverless technology. We’re going to relive those moments of excitement that brought us here, highlight the places we find that joy today and illuminate those gems lying just beyond the edges of what’s possible. The future is bright and we’re on our way, come join us as we light the fire.

We are wired to see and reason about objects, not numbers. Yet many observability tools focus on MELT data, leaving it to you to figure out what is impacted, who can fix it, and whether it even matters when something goes wrong. This talk draws insights from cognitive, organizational, and DevOps research to show the power of an entity-first approach to observability, and humbly suggests that we can learn a thing or two from Enterprise ITOps and CMDB practice along the way.

You can spend hours searching your logs for a piece of information required to troubleshoot an issue. Inspecting log messages demands repetitive queries, usually constructed from a combination of time window, entity names, and log message content. However, in most cases, log messages look the same, with only minor changes in certain variables. Log patterns (LP) employ advanced clustering algorithms to group together similar log messages automatically. With LP, you can orient more quickly through millions of logs, while reducing the time it takes to identify unusual behavior in your log estate and monitor the frequency of known patterns over time to focus your energy on what matters, and exclude what's irrelevant. Finally, you can also see all the recent log messages in your account that were not clustered into a known pattern.

New Relic recently supported one of the largest phone launches in history for some of North America’s telcos. While the user traffic was trivial to support (and we will explain how the New Relic database, collectors, and ingesters handle 1.4BB inserts/minute to our cloud monitoring platform) the monitoring traffic was the challenge. In this talk, we will explain observability and how we supported 15TT inspected systems every 10 minutes during this launch for days on end. Next, we will also present the pressures we observed on Amazon and on our operations and users. Lastly, what behaviors had to change to make this all work. From this experience, we extract the lessons learned about how to have observability done right, and feedback we have for the market on how to monitor at scale. Finally, we will get into how to automate and add AI to the mix to gain efficiencies.
