Jayesh: So, like right now, we don't really work heavily on observability. But again, the AI part is more in the security context as of now. We do that, but it's in a security context and not in the observability context that much. So I won't say I contributed a lot of the AI aspect at Traceable. I'm mostly affiliated with the open-source part to do with the Hypertrace project we have. Like, we have an open-source project called Hypertrace. But it's basically a distributed tracing platform, which many of our users are using. And we are building considering the observability perspective in mind. So some of the users are contributing new features, and it is evolving in that direction. So that's what my focus has been mostly.
And data collection was a very important aspect until recently maybe. But then the whole democratization part started. And now we have open standards to collect most of the data. OpenTelemetry is out there. OpenTelemetry can collect metrics, logs, and traces as of now. It's maturing. It's not there as of now. But the vision is like that. It can collect metrics, logs, and traces. You will have a single way to collect all the telemetry data. And the eBPF advancement, as we were talking about briefly before this can help you collect data as well. So most of the data collection aspect is being moved to open source, open standards, and companies have to abide by these things considering everybody has to use...If a customer asks you if you support some open standards, you have to pick. So most of the companies have to abide by these things and follow the standards out there. And once you start following, once the democratization comes into play, the only thing now you can do is show the relevant information.
I'm looking forward to a world where I get in there, and I am presented with a situation like this region of AWS is experiencing network latency issues. Do you want to spin up all of your pods in these clusters over here and then let those ones perform this work instead? It's almost like Clippy, the Clippy popping up in my Word document being like, I see you're trying to type a title. Do you want to make it big? Yeah, I want to just have an easy menu, get in there, solve the problem. Maybe someday we get to a place where these things can actually resolve some number of these issues on their own. You tie your observability solution into your actual Kubernetes cluster itself, and it's able to react. You have this reactive kind of system across the way. It's a very exciting future for observability.
