Unified Observability: Monitoring Postgres Anywhere with OpenTelemetry
October 21–24
PostgreSQL is widely used across cloud, Kubernetes, and bare metal environments. But how can we monitor it efficiently across all these setups without vendor lock-in or high costs?
In this talk, we'll explore how OpenTelemetry helps achieve consistent and scalable observability for Postgres - no matter where it runs. We'll walk through how to collect metrics and logs, integrate them with open-source observability tools, and optimize monitoring for both performance and cost.
Expect live demos and practical insights on making PostgreSQL monitoring simple, efficient, and future-ready with OpenTelemetry.
Key Takeaways: - How OpenTelemetry brings consistent Postgres observability across cloud, kubernetes, and bare metal - How to collect telemetry data (metrics and logs) for effective Postgres monitoring - How to use open-source tools (Prometheus, Loki, Grafana) to observe Postgres - Tips to reduce observability costs while keeping full visibility - Live demo of Postgres monitoring in cloud-native environments
