Optimizing Developer Experience with Observability in Platform Engineering Using Inspektor Gadget
Comprehensive monitoring and observability is critical to any platform workflow. Adopting best-in-class observability practices to your platform helps optimize the quality and performance of software, services, platforms, and products.
This webinar will introduce Inspektor Gadget , a CNCF sandbox project that is a tool and framework for data collection and system inspection on Kubernetes clusters and Linux hosts using eBPF. Specifically, we will introduce what Inspektor Gadget is, and cover real-world use cases of how platform engineers can use Inspektor Gadget to achieve visibility into their systems. Through this webinar, you will learn what Inspektor Gadget is and how it works, get exposure to several use cases that address common observability challenges that platform engineers face, and have clear next steps as to how you can get started with Inspektor Gadget yourself to improve your platform monitoring and observability.
Benefits to the ecosystem:
eBPF is Hard: Low-level technologies like eBPF are excellent for observability but require an in-depth understanding to use effectively. By introducing Inspektor Gadget as an orchestrator for eBPF, we can demonstrate how it simplifies the debugging of complex problems for platform engineers.
Improving Developer Experience: By exploring the background and use cases of building Inspektor Gadget, we aim to inspire workflows that enable people to tackle complex problems more easily, enhancing the overall developer experience.
Observability as Code: By involving more people in the Inspektor Gadget project, we can establish standardized methods for debugging complex problems by sharing image-based gadgets via OCI registries, benefiting the entire ecosystem.
