Overview

About the Observability pack.

A multi-vendor pack — observability is one problem with many runtimes. OpenTelemetry as the protocol, Datadog and Grafana as the dominant vendors, Sentry for error monitoring, New Relic / Honeycomb / Splunk / Dynatrace as enterprise alternatives. Includes k6 for load testing and eBPF instrumentation patterns.

Why it's in the catalog. Most teams don't pick "an observability vendor" — they end up with three. The pack carries the integration patterns, the OTel semantic conventions, and the per-vendor opinion (Datadog for breadth, Grafana for control, Honeycomb for high-cardinality).

Overview

What it covers.

Headline products and features the pack carries opinions on. Each lives as its own canonical page under stacks/observability/<product>.md in the etyb-skills repo — currency-stamped, sourced, opinionated.

Overview

4 role overlays.

When /etyb routes a request to one of these roles AND the Observability pack is in play, the role's reference is composed with the platform-flavored knowledge from this stack. Same role, sharper answer.

Detail

What's relevant right now.

The three things on Observability that a 2024-cutoff model is most likely to get wrong — and that this pack reflects.

  • OTel GenAI semconv: cross-vendor LLM observability with consistent token + cost attributes
  • Beyla eBPF: zero-instrumentation tracing for Go, Rust, Node, Python
  • Grafana Pyroscope: continuous profiling integrated with the LGTM stack
