So yeah "otel is hard" but mostly when what you're looking for is a drop in replacement for prometheus or an expensive vendor solution.

Like with anything new, workout how you can leverage it and how it helps you. Don't throw it out because you don't understand it.

I finally had the time to watch this amazing session on DSQL, but also on how to architect and build distributed systems that scale. It’s really impressive, and humbling to see how much complexity can be behind something that I am sure I will use for my silly projects. Kudos to the team behind it.
My second re:Invent talk is up! In this talk, I dive into the internals of thew new Aurora DSQL, looking at how we achieve each of the ACID properties, and highlight some of the decisions we made as we designed the product.

I think this is inspiring: wide structured logs as the single source of truth, with no limits on the cardinality of attributes. And then I wonder, could one just emit opentelemetry spans/traces, as OTLP records, with all the possible attributes (dem inv and not)? Or am I missing something?
A lot of folks are starting to talk about o11y 2.0 and how it's different -- dev vs ops, pillars vs log events, etc. Which is cool But there is only ONE core distinction between 1.0 and 2.0; everything else is a consequence.

🦀 #Rust is transforming #AWS #Lambda functions! Its efficiency makes it ideal for #serverless: fast startups and low memory usage mean reduced cold starts and lower costs. 🤑⚡️

I’ve made a 5-step guide to deploy your first Lambda in Rust 👇

It was in my todo list to go hunting for that, thanks @tobilg.com!
