ALIAKSANDR VALIALKIN

Large-scale logging made easy

Logging at scale can be a significant burden in terms of infrastructure costs and operational headaches. Despite its universal need, there is no universally perfect or straightforward solution. Aliaksandr, after extensive research on popular logging systems, has devised a comprehensive solution tailored for SREs, DevOps, and system engineers. This solution efficiently collects logs from various sources, stores them in a highly optimized log database, and supports lightning-fast queries. It seamlessly integrates with essential tools like jq, awk, cut, and others, making it an ideal choice for providing a logging platform across an entire organization or team.

MONIKA SINGH

Alert analytics

At Cloudflare, Monika and her team use Prometheus heavily. They have point-of-presence in more than 275+ number of cities, and each point-of-presence has their own Prometheus instance. All these Prometheus instances send alerts to a central Alertmanager, and with various integrations in place, they efficiently route these alerts for timely response and analysis. Additionally, all alerts are also stored in a dedicated datastore for comprehensive alert analytics, ensuring that they continuously improve their systems‘ performance and reliability.

SHODIPO AYOMIDE

Best Practices for Secure Coding, Risk Scanning, and Ethical Disclosure in Open-Source

Shodipo discusses best practices for securing open-source projects, focusing on code security, vulnerability detection, and ethical disclosure.

von Katja Kotschenreuther | Aug 26, 2023 | stackconf

This entry is part 6 of 8 in the series stackconf 2022

This session systematically gives you the insight needed to answer these questions for your organization.
