Modern Observability Masterclass
Behind the scenes — studio recording session
1 / 4
About this talk
A deep-dive masterclass on modern observability, delivered in Spanish as part of the AWS Cloud course on Commit Academy — the platform from Spanish tech creator BettaTech. Combining theory with live demos on the EasyTrade demo application, the session covers the full observability stack: from instrumentation strategies (zero-code agents, OpenTelemetry, and agentless RUM) through the three pillars of metrics, logs, and distributed traces, to AI-powered alerting, cost-efficient data pipelines, and the cultural shift required to make observability truly useful in a team.
Key takeaways
- The three pillars of observability — metrics, logs, and distributed traces — and how to correlate them to get the full picture
- The instrumentation spectrum: zero-code monitoring agents, OpenTelemetry as the vendor-neutral standard, cloud extensions, and agentless RUM tagging
- Building intelligent alert systems with AI-powered anomaly detection and automated remediation workflows
- Designing cost-efficient observability pipelines through strategic sampling and tiered data retention
- Using distributed tracing and context propagation to debug real production issues across service boundaries
- Fostering an observability culture within a development team — what separates "installed" from "actually useful"
