🛠️ What I Worked On

Observability

This was more for my Gophercon talk, but I fixed the local LGTM stack setup so that we can send logs, metrics and traces and view it all in Grafana. Then correleate them correctly and move between them in the GUI.

Worked on the terraform code to then create the same stack in Grafana cloud to setup the LGTM stack. Including deploying an alloy agent on my VPS. So we can send all of our OTLP data their and have consumed by the Grafana cloud.

Setting Page

Started work on the settings page to allow the user to update various settings about the organization. Such as the name, logo and description.

Added ways for user to change their org name, avatar and description.
