Unified Observability: Monitoring Postgres Anywhere with OpenTelemetry
Thursday, October 23 at 09:25–10:15
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
