Event-Driven CI/CD Observability: Infrastructure as Observable Events
David Bernard
Modern infrastructure teams manage CI/CD pipelines across diverse tools but lack standardized observability, creating blind spots in deployment workflows.
This talk demonstrates event-driven observability using CDEvents, a vendor-neutral specification for continuous delivery events. See real deployment data visualized in Grafana: deployment frequency, promotion delays between environments, and pipeline duration trends—collected from GitHub Actions, artifact registries, and ArgoCD.
Learn the open source architecture (CDviz collector + PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB + Grafana), incremental adoption path, and how standardized events enable future automation—providing pipeline observability without vendor lock-in.
