Deploying apps the GitOps way with ArgoCD

GitOps has been around for quite some time now, so there was plenty of time for the tooling to get mature. On this lecture we'll be exploring ArgoCD which graduated graduated CNCF on December 6th 2022. We'll go through the basic concepts and the various benefits/features that it offers.

Practical introduction to OpenTelemetry tracing

Tracking a request’s flow across different components in distributed systems is essential. With the rise of microservices, their importance has risen to critical levels. Some proprietary tools for tracking have been used already: Jaeger and Zipkin naturally come to mind.

Observability is built on three pillars: logging, metrics, and tracing. OpenTelemetry is a joint effort to bring an open standard to them. Jaeger and Zipkin joined the effort so that they are now OpenTelemetry compatible.

In this talk, I’ll describe the above in more detail and showcase a (simple) use case to demo how you could benefit from OpenTelemetry in your distributed architecture.
