Listen "Observability ownership, monitoring apps at scale, and learning DevOps like a language- Josh Lee"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Security Repo Podcast, we explore the intersection of observability and security with special guest Josh Lee, a developer advocate at Altinity and expert on Clickhouse and OpenTelemetry.
We discuss the evolving definition of observability, how context and tagging enhance both security and observability practices, and how databases like ClickHouse® compare to Snowflake for monitoring applications at scale. Josh also shares insights on DevOps culture as a "foreign language" and how to bridge gaps between developers and operators in adopting modern practices.
Josh is a seasoned software developer with over a decade of experience, specializing in a broad range of topics including operations, observability, and cloud-native databases. His passion for technology is matched by his enthusiasm for sharing knowledge through public speaking. Currently, Josh serves as a Developer Advocate for Altinity, where he creates educational content on ClickHouse® and OpenTelemetry.
