Keynote: The Observability Platform Engineering Advantage: From Zero-Code to Monitoring as Code
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 · on Wednesday, 2025-04-02· at 10:17· Level 0 | ICC Auditorium·
summary
Demo deploys two apps: Spring Boot with MySQL and Go with PostgreSQL, auto-instrumented by the OpenTelemetry Operator; two collectors run (node DaemonSet and cluster StatefulSet) and forward metrics to Prometheus and traces to Jaeger. Perses manages dashboards declared in YAML and applied via GitOps. Auto-instrumentation needs only pod annotations, produces useful spans (Java shows six spans) with no code changes, proving zero-code instrumentation and enabling monitoring as code that actually works on a local K cluster.
