The Observability Guide to Platform Engineering, Part 2 - Observing & Analyzing Backstage, Argo, Git

Internal Development Platforms (IDPs) contain critical platform services that enable developer self-service (through tools like Backstage, Port, Cortex ...), version control & continuous integration (GitLab, GitHub, …) as well as GitOps-based continuous deployment (Argo, Flux, …). Like any product, observability is needed to understand whether those components of your platform work as expected, are efficient, resilient, and provide the desired value to the end-users. In this Observability Clinic, Andreas Grabner, CNCF Ambassador and Global DevRel Lead at #Dynatrace, walks you through: End 2 End Self-Service IDP for onboarding new applications based on a new GitHub Tutorial How to observe (logs, metrics, traces …) platform tools such as Backstage, Argo, GitLab, and others How to analyze any issues with those components using Dynatrace Notebooks How to automate observability into your self-service platform use cases Links: GitHub Codespace Tutorial: https://dt-url.net/devrel-PE-demo Recap Part 1 Tutorial: https://dt-url.net/devrel-pe-part1 Watch Perform 2024 On Demand: https://dynatr.ac/4aacMUj eBook on Platform Engineering: https://dynatr.ac/3SYfNjd Platform Engineering Use Case Documentation: https://dt-url.net/devrel-PE-doc Survey Form for Use Case Prioritization: https://forms.office.com/r/mZLG4mZisk Chapter List: 00:00 - Introduction 00:36 - What you're going to learn today 01:53 - Live Tutorial Overview 04:08 - Launching GitHub Tutorial 09:30 - Recap Part 1 11:35 - What we learned at Perform 2024 15:00 - Platform Engineering eBook 15:45 - Platform Engineering Use Case Documentation 16:37 - Use Case Feedback 17:28 - Getting Started with Dynatrace 18:03 - Live Demo 48:08 - Screenshot run-through of Live Demo 48:56 - Wrap Up Subscribe to our channel → https://dynatr.ac/subscribeYT Stay up-to-date with Dynatrace!
