Show HN: Dev-friendly native OTel: only OSS stateful, on-the-wire Observability

Hi HN,We’re the team at MyDecisive.ai, and today we’re giving developers a peek at Octant — point-and-click control and visibility for your OpenTelemetry.You've likely felt the pain of the "observability tax," especially if you manage K8S clusters. The modern standard is to instrument everything with OpenTelemetry, but piping all those rich OTLP logs, metrics, and traces straight to a SaaS...

DevOps are watching agentic AI change everything when doubling down on proactive operations and efficiencies. That path is a move beyond simple data logging – it’s based on open standards, rooted in open source and instrumentation should be "table stakes." to ensure developers are not locked into proprietary agents.

Observability that is open wins!

Lance is a great guy and that lab for a decade plus has done great work and supported so much of community. Happily supported their start and will continue to.

Exactly. I don't understand the drama on this at all.

I think the path in technology for open technology-based startups no longer looks like it used to for a lot of reasons - financial, maturity of online users, and more. We have really crossed a point where building a startup from scratch - without a strategic VC, ability to share customers with an established player in the market or ability to build on top of another company's technology/platform - is just not possible. The fabled guys in a garage inventing the next thing is gone.

Transparency is a tricky thing. Much information came from tribal knowledge. As rules have changed for private companies in the US, we saw some of the information being provided "as open" became the norm or required so there is less of a need to share it and there is not that "goodwill" factor. Most of what was being shared was available to some extent if you knew/know where to look.

Show HN: Cryptid Zero Trust Authentication and Authorization, Open Source Oberon

Oberon makes it possible for a service provider to issue capability tokens to clients in such a way that the service provider never sees the value of the capability token. This prevents the service provider from being able to impersonate the client. Oberon relies upon zero-knowledge proof presentation of the capability token so that the token is never transmitted norrevealed. Instead of the...
