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).
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.
- OpenTelemetry (Collector + SDKs)
- OTel GenAI semantic conventions
- Datadog (APM + RUM + Logs + LLM Observability)
- Grafana Cloud (Loki + Mimir + Tempo + Pyroscope)
- Sentry
- New Relic
- Honeycomb
- Splunk
- Dynatrace
- k6
- Beyla (eBPF)
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.

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
Get the pack.
The Observability pack comes with /etyb — one install,
every pack ready to go. The overlay loads automatically when the work calls for it.
