DevContainers: Your Portable and Reproducible Development Environment

The Development Environment Problem: “It Works on My Machine!” How many times have you heard or said the infamous phrase “It works on my machine!”? It’s the bane of collaboration between developers. Each team member configures their environment slightly differently: mismatched language versions, missing dependencies, or misaligned environment variables. This leads to hours wasted debugging the setup, slowing onboarding of new team members and creating inconsistencies between development and production environments.

The LGTM Stack and OpenTelemetry: Complete Observability for Your Distributed Systems

We have explored the principles of observability and the fundamental role of OpenTelemetry as a unifying standard for telemetry. OpenTelemetry provides us with the tools to generate and collect high-quality data (metrics, logs and traces) in an agnostic and consistent format. But once these valuable signals have been collected, where are they stored, queried and, most importantly, displayed in a meaningful way? This is where the LGTM stack comes into play, a powerful combination of open source tools that form a complete and integrated observability solution, developed and primarily supported by Grafana Labs.
