What I did in the last couple of weeks (part 5):

I started reading "Observability with Grafana" by Rob Chapman and Peter Holmes.
https://www.packtpub.com/en-US/product/observability-with-grafana-9781803249643

A nice read so far. They are using Grafana Cloud to make it easy for the reader to get going without having to set up their own observability stack.

They have example code to deploy into a kubernetes cluster (whatever flavor, minikube, ...) so it sends the metrics, logs and traces to Grafana Cloud.

They explain the basics of PromQL, TraceQL and LogQL, the basic architecture of Prometheus, Mimir, Loki and Tempo. They explain OpenTelemetry, they mention Jaeger and Zipkin.

This far a very nice read!
