🔭 OpenTelemetry 🔭
The latest Annual Cloud Native Survey by @cncf.io gave an update on adoption for projects, and of course I checked were the numbers for @opentelemetry.io : Close to 50% in production! This is an impressive result, I am really proud of what our community has accomplished! www.cncf.io/wp-content/u...

DevOps. SRE. Platform Engineering.
Same goals, different disciplines, but the nuances matter.
This post aims to clear things up, helping teams align on who owns what and how the pieces fit together 🧩

The Cost of Confusing SRE, DevOps, and Platform Engineering
Confusing SRE, DevOps, and Platform Engineering may work at 20 engineers, but at 200 it creates chaos. Here’s why the distinctions matter and how to scale them effectively.

🎃 Happy Halloween from Causely 👻

In a world haunted by false positives and spurious alerts, one terrifying truth remains:

Correlation is futile.

Our favorite Shark-Of-9 knows it too: you can’t guess your way to reliability!

Stay spooky. Stay causal.
