A deep dive into observability with Alain PHAM
At Paris Monitoring Day 2024, Alain will explore how systems reveal their weaknesses when put under heavy load. He will demonstrate how performance testing, combined with Continuous Profiling, strengthens the observability of modern systems.
In our series introducing Paris Monitoring Day speakers, we're honored to present Alain PHAM, Principal Solutions Engineer at Grafana. With more than 14 years of experience in distributed systems, Alain is an expert in observability, application development and data integration. A true open source enthusiast, he regularly shares his knowledge with various technical communities and at conferences around the world.
Title of his talk: _Performance Testing and Continuous Profiling: The New Pillars of Observability_
Why not miss Alain's session?
In his session, Alain will explore how systems reveal their weaknesses when put under heavy load. He will demonstrate how performance testing, combined with Continuous Profiling, strengthens the observability of modern systems.
Today, it's no longer enough to monitor traditional metrics. With systems becoming increasingly complex and distributed, companies need deep visibility to identify bottlenecks and resolve issues before they affect end users. Grafana K6, a performance testing tool, and Grafana Pyroscope, a continuous profiling technology, will play a central role in Alain's presentation.
Key points of the presentation:
- Strengthening observability with continuous profiling: Alain will explain how Continuous Profiling makes it possible to continuously monitor the resources used by applications in production, offering much finer granularity than simple metrics or logs.
- Identifying weaknesses under pressure: When systems are put under heavy load, that's often when performance weaknesses appear. Performance testing with Grafana K6 lets you uncover them before they become critical.
- Combining metrics, logs, traces and profiling: Alain will discuss how continuous profiling, combined with the traditional pillars of observability (metrics, logs and traces), provides complete and proactive visibility into system performance.
- Use cases and best practices: Expect practical demonstrations and real-world use cases of the Grafana K6 and Grafana Pyroscope tools, showing how these technologies can transform the way you monitor and improve your applications.
