In the world of cloud-native observability, the "Golden Signal" is only as valuable as the pipeline that carries it. To build a truly vendor-neutral, scalable observability stack, look to Fluent Bit for high-performance telemetry routing and OpenSearch for robust search and analytics. This session dives into why these two projects form the "Power Couple" of the open-source ecosystem. One excels at being a lightweight, sub-millisecond processor at the edge, the other providing the distributed backend required to make sense of that data.

What we will cover:

- The "Why" Behind the Pairing: An exploration of how Fluent Bit’s low-resource footprint perfectly complements OpenSearch’s high-performance indexing.
- Streamlined Integration: Practical demonstrations of configuring the Fluent Bit OpenSearch output plugin.
- Zero to Dashboard: A walkthrough of the developer workflow—from containerized deployment using Podman to visualizing live telemetry in OpenSearch Dashboards.

Attendees will walk away with an understanding of the advantages to this couple and access to a free online hands-on workshop: https://o11y-workshops.gitlab.io/workshop-fluentbit
