Questions like: "Can you monitor a candle without starting a fire?" or "Should your robot boat have redundancy, or just a twin?" Today, Grafana Labs is excited to kick off season 3 of "Grafana's Big Tent" - the award-winning podcast about the people, community, tools, and tech shaping observability - to answer these pressing questions (and more). Grafana Labs launched "Grafana's Big Tent" in 2022 to spark fun, open conversations across the observability community. The show embodies and celebrates our "big tent" philosophy - the belief that you should be able to access your data anywhere, and use the observability tools and strategies that work best for you. Most importantly, the podcast has resonated with the open source community, with more than 30,000 downloads across 120+ countries. In the first episode of season 3, you'll hear a live recording from GrafanaCON 2025 in Seattle, featuring hosts Mat Ryer, Principal Software Engineer at Grafana Labs, and Tom Wilkie, Grafana Labs CTO. The topic? Homelabs gone wild, adventures in tinkering, and IoT wins and fails. Its hosts are joined by Ivana Huckova, Staff Software Engineer at Grafana Labs; Andrew McCalip, Head of Research and Development at Varda Space Industries (and builder of an autonomous...
