A hands-on workshop where you investigate real production issues in a microservice system using logs, traces, and metrics — and discover why observability matters.
You'll debug a broken e-commerce application (the OpenTelemetry Astronomy Shop). First with only logs, then with the full observability toolkit, and finally with AI assistance.
- A modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge)
- Optionally: Claude Code for AI-assisted investigation
No installations, no cluster access, no setup required. Everything runs on a shared environment.
URLs will be shared on Slack.
Dashboards for each exercise are in the Grafana sidebar under Dashboards → exercise-01, exercise-02, etc.
- Blind Spots — investigate with logs and basic metrics
- Guided Investigation — full observability, step by step
- Open Investigation — pick a scenario, use AI tools
