Thanks Matt, > This sounds interesting. I'm still not a fan of their enormous dependency stack, but I'm sure it's sufficient for prototyping. :)
I understand your concern. I think that the Return on Investment remains very positive enabling integration with a growing number of Observability systems: - Store metrics in the Time Series DB you want capturing all the correlation attributes to report on the dimension that matters to you: Prometheus, Elastic... - Capture job executions as distributed traces exported in your prefered free or commercial distributed tracing system to have great visibility on the job executions correlated with the health of the underlying infrastructure and leveraging automated anomaly detection provided by your observability systems. - Quality of the instrumentation as all the observability actors can join forces to focus on just one instrumentation per CI/CD system and hopefully some standard dashboard across all CI/CD systems rather than fragmenting efforts. When I looked at all the Jenkins plugins that report observability data to so many backends (InfluxDB, Graphite, Datadog, Elastic, syslog..), I felt the unification of the collector layer would be beneficial for everybody Regarding the interference of GRPC dependencies, I'm confident that it will be painless for most use cases.
