Huge fan of eBPF but admittedly less informed than I could be; could someone point out some instances where this wouldn't be able to replace agent instrumentation eventually? I und…

I'm curious to hear people's thoughts on eBPF generally, it seems likely that this is where observability companies are headed. It's non-trivial to implement but monitoring from th…

"Open source was taking over enterprises long before k8s" True, also not related to the point I was trying to make. Executives tend to be handwavey and vague sometimes but I'm pret…

I've mostly worked for companies that were all in on things like open source and cloud my entire career, but it's easy to forget that there are huge companies that just recently re…

I've had some success convincing anti-cloud (cloud reticent?) companies by pointing to things like FedRAMP compliance: "You know how hard it is to get ______ compliance? Your data …

My understanding is that it has more to do with the general direction of observability. The agent code was always open, we frequently accepted PRs from the community when I was on …

Came here to share this - NR just redid their entire pricing structure, in my opinion it's now a much better approach for horizontal scaling. Most everything is now part of a singl…

New Relic changed their pricing model significantly this morning, now charging for seats (first user is free) with 100GB data ingest, thereafter $0.25/GB.
