Application Observability and Beyla Demo
summary
Grafana Cloud ships Application Observability (GA) and Beyla (GA) that correlate metrics, logs and traces across services and infra using OpenTelemetry and Prometheus formats; the demo shows a card/checkout error chain traced to Redis liveness failures and Kubernetes probe restarts, with traces, logs and generated metrics visible in Mimir, Tempo and Loki. Beyla uses eBPF to instrument unmodified binaries, deployable as a DaemonSet or sidecar via a one-line deploy and sends spans and metrics to Grafana Cloud.
