Leveraging the edge for observability
Many teams use CDNs or caching proxies for speed and scale, but often overlook their value for observability.
In this talk, Thijs shows how to turn Varnish into a rich observability layer, unlocking metrics and logs already flowing through the proxy. Integrating with tools like Prometheus, Loki, and Grafana, and standardizing telemetry data with OpenTelemetry.
Your proxy is not only a performance booster, it's a key source of insights.
