The Observability Podcast: Recent Episodes
Chris Cooney
The Observability podcast explores the dark side of software. From outages to on-call. The techniques, practices, tools and determination that keeps the most interesting software systems stable and in service. We'll learn, gasp and laugh at some of the weirdest and most wonderful outages that only engineers can produce. Sponsored by Coralogix.
On the 14th of January, Elastic (the company behind Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana & Beats) dropped a legal bombshell. Elasticsearch and Kibana are being dragged from their lofty Open source status and recategorised as "Source available". In this episode, we'll explain what has actually changed, what it means for engineers and steps you can take to protect yourself from this kind of legal madness in the future.
