This lab page is work in progress. The goal is a reproducible environment where you can practice
observability skills hands-on: traces, metrics, logs, sampling, and RCA workflows—without needing production access.
What will be here soon
- Step-by-step install (Docker Compose + optional Kubernetes)
- Exercises: p99 spikes, retries, downstream latency, pool exhaustion
- OTel instrumentation: auto vs manual, adding domain attributes
- RCA walkthroughs: metrics → traces → logs → causal chain
- Exports: send telemetry to different backends (vendor-neutral)
Recommended reading before the lab
If you want, I can also publish a “minimum viable lab” first (10–15 min setup) and expand it over time.
