Jack Neely is a DevOps observability architect at Palo Alto Networks and has a few interesting ways of extracting value from o11y data.
We crammed into just under 25 minutes ideas like these 7 takeaways:
* Reasserting the Need to Monitor Four Golden Signals: Focus on latency, traffic, errors, and saturation for effective system monitoring and management.
* Prioritize Customer Health: in Jack’s words, the 5th golden signal. Go beyond traditional metrics to monitor the health of your customers for a more comprehensive view of your system's impact.
* Apply Mathematical Techniques: Incorporate advanced mathematical concepts, like the Nyquist Shannon law and T Digest algorithm, to enhance data accuracy and observability metrics.
* Build Accurate Percentiles: Implement techniques to accurately reproduce percentiles from raw data to ensure reliable performance metrics.
* Manage High Cardinality Data: Develop strategies to handle high cardinality data without overwhelming your resources, ensuring you extract valuable insights.
* Standardize Log Records: Use readily available frameworks to emit standardized log records makes data easier to process and visualize.
* Handle High-Velocity Data Efficiently: Develop methods for collecting and processing high-velocity data without incurring prohibitive costs.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
