Redis is no longer open source. Just a few months ago, in March 2024, the project was relicensed, leaving its vast community confused. But the community did not give up, and started work to fork Redis to keep it open.
In this episode, we delve into the Valkey project, a prominent fork of Redis, established under the Linux Foundation, which brought together important figures from the Redis community, as well as leading industry giants including AWS, Google Cloud, Oracle and others. Valkey has rapidly gained momentum and just reached General Availability (GA).
Join us as we explore the motivations behind Valkey's creation, hear first-hand stories on its foundation and journey to GA, and learn of its Redis compatibility, roadmap and implications for the open-source community.
Valkey's first Contributor Summit is taking place June 5-6 in Seattle and we will bring you announcements and updates hot off the summit. Our guest is Kyle Davis, the Senior Developer Advocate on the Valkey project, and a past contributor for Redis.
Kyle currently works at AWS, a founding member of Valkey, and has a long history with open source and with forks. He was a founding contributor to the OpenSearch project, which started as a fork of Elasticsearch and Kibana after the latter's relicensing off OSS. Most recently Kyle worked to build a community around Bottlerocket OSS project.

In the past few years we’ve been witnessing tectonic shifts in the open source realm, with established projects taken off open source or otherwise turning to the dark side. On the other hand, we’ve seen active forks aiming to keep these projects open gaining momentum.
What does it mean for the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) movement? Is this a trend or just a passing wave? What can we learn from it as vendors and as a community?
In this special episode concluding the fourth season of OpenObservability talks we will look back at the past year, including the very recent relicensing of Redis, and will discuss the state of open source with the help of open source pundit David Nalley.
David has been involved in open source for nearly two decades. He is the director of open source strategy at AWS and currently serves as the President of the Apache Software Foundation and serves on the Board of Directors for the Internet Security Research Group.

OpenTelemetry is expanding beyond the traditional “three pillars of observability” and introduces a groundbreaking addition to its signals - Continuous Profiling. The new Profiling Special Interest Group (SIG) that was formed to lead the topic has already made significant advancements, to be featured at KubeCon Europe. Join us in this special panel episode of OpenObservability Talks as we explore the significance of this new dimension in understanding application behavior, optimizing performance, and gaining deeper insights into your systems. Our expert guests, Felix Geisendörfer and Ryan Perry, members of the OpenTelemetry Profiling SIG, share their insights into how Profiling enhances the OpenTelemetry framework, and update on the work for open specification and implementation.
This special episode hosts a panel of two distinguished members of OpenTelemetry’s Profile SIG, and prominent members of the observability vendor ecosystem. Felix Geisendörfer is a Senior Staff Engineer at Datadog where he works on Continuous Profiling and contributes to the Go runtime. Before that he was working at Apple, co-founded Transloadit, contributed to node.js and inspired a generation of mad scientists to program flying robots with it. Ryan Perry is Principal Product Manager at Grafana Labs. He has built a career at various startups while actively contributing to open source projects and advancing open telemetry initiatives. Most recently he built Pyroscope, an open source continuous profiling project/company, which has been acquired by Grafana Labs.The episode was live-streamed on 7 March 2024 and the video is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGM67RT12gQ

The .NET programming language is taking cloud native deployment and observability seriously, and most notably with the recent announcement of .NET Aspire stack unveiled at the recent .NET Conf 2023.
In this episode, we reviewed the open source maintainers’ journey to making .NET a "by default, out of the box observable platform", as ASP.NET Core creator David Fowler put it. David was this episode’s guest, and with him we dived into .NET Aspire and how it simplifies the complexities of cloud app development with capabilities around service discovery, observability, and resilience. We discussed the local developer experience, the path to developer observability, and what we can expect from the upcoming GA release of .NET8.
David Fowler has been at Microsoft for 15 years working on developer frameworks and tools in the .NET space. He's one of the creators of several popular OSS frameworks and tools such as NuGet, SignalR and ASP.NET Core, and also architected the Azure SignalR Service. Originally from Barbados, he's an avid open-source advocate and developer currently focused on simplifying developer experiences in the microservice space.

PromCon, the flagship yearly event of the Prometheus community, took place in Berlin 28-29 September 2023, and we’re here to bring you the highlights from the Prometheus ecosystem, including the pivotal decision on Prometheus 3.0! Brace yourselves for some exciting announcements! We also delved into the latest addition to the ecosystem, Perses project, which promises to revolutionize the world of dashboard visualization and monitoring. This new open source project, now part of the Linux Foundation, aims to become the GitOps-friendly standard dashboard visualization tool for Prometheus and other data sources.On this episode I hosted Augustin Husson, Prometheus maintainer and the creator of the Perses project, at the heels of his PromCon announcement of the Perses release. Augustin is also principal engineer at Amadeus, a technology vendor for travel agencies. Augustin joined Amadeus to create a new internal monitoring system based on Prometheus, and he will also share his end-user journey and insights.

DevOps is not just about operating the software in production, but also about releasing that software to production. Well-functioning CI/CD pipelines are critical for the business, and this calls for quality observability, to handle broken and flaky pipeline runs effectively.On this episode I hosted Oleg Nenashev, a core maintainer and board member in the Jenkins project, as well as a TOC member in the Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF). Oleg is a community builder, open source advocate and consultant, now at WireMock Inc. He is also a CDF and CNCF ambassador. We discussed CI/CD, observability, the prominent open source projects and foundations, as well as a new proposal for extending OpenTelemetry to natively support CI/CD observability use cases.

Terraform is no longer open source. This is the news we got last month (August 2023), when HashiCorp announced its decision to relicense its open source tools, including Terraform, Vault, Packer, Consul, Vagrant and others, into Business Source License 1.1.The community, led by active Terraform-based vendors, gathered up to create a fork of Terraform to keep it open. The result is OpenTofu (originally called OpenTF), whose manifesto already has tens of thousands of stars on GitHub, less than a month out. Only a month old, engineers are hard at work to establish the first release of OpenTofu, as well as its foundational backbone. In this month’s episode I covered these significant events that shake our industry and the DevOps world. I was joined by Omry Hay, co-founder and CTO of env0. env0 provides an automation solution based on Terraform, and is one of the creators of OpenTofu and a member of the project’s steering committee. Omry also shared OpenTofu’s mission and current status, as well as exciting updates, hot off Open Source Summit Europe conference taking place these days, in which OpenTofu has officially joined The Linux Foundation. Omry has been a software engineer and engineering manager for the last 16 years, working at companies like eToro, Fiverr and Proofpoint. As CTO of env0, he leads the R&D and Product departments.

Fluentd and Fluent Bit are two highly popular open source projects for data collection and log forwarding in the realm of observability. Fluentd's flexibility and scalability have led to seamless integration with diverse applications and data sources, while Fluent Bit's lightweight and efficient log forwarding have made it a preferred choice for modern observability pipelines. But Fluent Bit can process more than just logs. The recent release of Fluent Bit v2 added major new integrations with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus and more, as well as extensibility with WebAssembly plugins.
On this episode I hosted Eduardo Silva Pereira, one of Fluentd project maintainers and creator of Fluent Bit. He also is the founder of Calyptia, the Fluent company. Eduardo shared with us the latest updates of Fluentd and Fluent Bit, as well as valuable insights into the future roadmap of these projects. The episode was live-streamed on 9 August 2023 and the video is available at https://youtu.be/V02Ctv0Rtg8

eBay is a high scale end user of open source observability. Collecting telemetry from millions of endpoints, and running thousands of queries per second, presents serious scaling challenges. eBay has chosen to use an open source stack to meet those challenges. On this episode I hosted Vijay Samuel, Observability Architect at eBay, to hear about the challenges eBay faced in monitoring large Kubernetes installations. We discussed why eBay chose the open source stack, and the strategic decision behind eBay's migration from Elastic Beats to OpenTelemetry, and the remarkable experiences they had while deploying massively large scale telemetry installations using OpenTelemetry and Prometheus.We also discussed a fascinating new proposal for a query language standard for observability, which eBay spearheads together with Netflix under the auspices of the CNCF’s TAG Observability (the CNCF’s technical advisory group for observability).

With over 1,000 companies using it and 21.5K+ stars on GitHub, the Backstage open source project is quickly becoming a go-to tool for managing developer infrastructure. In this episode, I’ll sit down with Lee Mills, a Senior Engineering Manager from Spotify's Backstage project, to learn more about how the open source platform is revolutionizing the developer experience and how it aligns with the growing Internal Developer Platform (IDP) space. We’ll discuss the need that drove Spotify to build this internal tool, about the decision and journey to open source it and donate it to the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation). We’ll also discuss the new commercial plugins, what’s coming up on the roadmap, and much more.
Lee has worked as an engineering manager for the past 12 years, from Amazon to Spotify and everything in between. Prior to that Lee had a mixed background working in academia as a lecturer, worked as a Boom Op for television in the UK and lived in more places than he can count.
