![]() ![]() Ryan: It’s amazing to see how our projects have become increasingly aligned over time. The collaboration between our teams is already proving to be fruitful. What are you most excited about in the merger of Pyroscope and Phlare?ĭmitry: I’m really looking forward to combining our expertise and resources to create a more powerful and seamless observability solution. I loved the insights we were able to get with pprof and saw the potential in Phlare and jumped at the chance to join my good friend on this adventure. After I joined Grafana Labs, I worked on Grafana Mimir, and then later on Loki with Cyril. I became obsessed with performance while working on Loki, trying to make it as fast and efficient as possible.Ĭhristian: I was operating Linux as far back as I can remember, but the complexity that came with Kubernetes brought me into the world of observability. I said, “Need for Speed,” but still got hired.Īfter joining Grafana Labs I fell in love with Grafana Loki and distributed systems in general. Fun story: At the end of the hiring interview with Tom, because I was working in video games previously, he asked me, “What’s the best driving video game? Wrong answer and you’re not hired.” Tom is a big car aficionado, and I’m not a car guy. Since then we’ve been on a wild journey on a personal level (traveling around the world together) and on a professional level (finding ways to optimize software together with continuous profiling).Ĭyril: I got hired by Tom Wilkie to work on Cortex. Ryan: Haha, that’s right! I owe my start in observability to Dmitry, who I somehow convinced to hire me when I had zero programming experience. We quickly realized our shared passion for understanding the intricacies of software performance and how we complement each other as teammates. How did you first get involved in the world of observability and what drew you to it?ĭmitry: It all started when I had the pleasure of hiring Ryan for his first job as a software engineer many years ago. They also share some interesting insights into their personal lives (and their superpower ambitions). ![]() The group talks about what drew them to these projects and their excitement over the impending merger. That’s why we brought together the Pyroscope founders, Dmitry Filimonov and Ryan Perry, and Phlare technical leads, Cyril Tovena and Christian Simon, for this light-hearted conversation. What do you get when you combine the wit, wisdom, and weird humor of four talented tech minds? As it turns out, a surprisingly lively Q&A!Īs Grafana Pyroscope emerges from the union of Grafana Phlare and Pyroscope, it’s time to really get to know the people behind these continuous profiling projects. ![]()
