Hello everyone and welcome to the July 25th version of the analytics section meeting.

Got a number of topics here you can go through.

Matt got you from monitor observability.

I believe you were having a conversation with Kenny,

and you might have a ton of insight that we can benefit from from from your months spent.

Would you like to start?

And actually, before we start,

I did want to give one little bit of preamble.

So first of all, Matt's awesome.

And I'm excited to have him chat with you all.

I do want to say like a principle of mine in thinking about obviously both parts of the application

that we're building in observability and in analytics have a lot of potential overlap,

including are using likely going to use a common data store in ClickHouse.

But I want to try to operate them as independently as possible.

So what we should think about when Matt's explaining what they've learned is lessons learned

that we can apply going forward as opposed to like trying to couple the groups to say like,

oh, one group work on this part and we'll use it

and the other group work on another part because these are all.

So both early investments for GitLab and so it's important

that we are structured to move quickly rather than necessarily be coupled together as groups.

So I just want to make sure I give that caveat before we start.

Makes sense.

Cool.

Yeah.

Thanks, Kenny.

Thanks, Dennis.

I'm Matt i'm from the monitor observability group i came over to get lab as part of the obstrace acquisition

and in the last six months we've really been building um

a lot of what i think you folks are probably going to end up having to build

and so that's why i wanted to you know sort of bridge this discussion a little bit

because um i you know and i think that uh it's a good principle

to operate by you know having kind of you know separate um dependencies

and trying not to you know overlap too much um

but you know in the last six months we have invested

a lot in i think what you guys are gonna have to redo

so i you know i think that there is you know we're happy here to

if you want to stay you know a little bit more independent we're happy to help in any way we can

but there is a lot of benefit too from you know sharing some of what we've built at the same time

we've built a lot of automation around kubernetes um you know

infrastructure life cycle of kubernetes clusters with click house on top

of it click house scaling limits quota management inside of click

house end-to-end testing of the entire system authentication on the apis um you know

that connect back with the git lab instance um you know there's there's loads

and loads and loads of things

that uh you know for the back end a lot of this stuff is not seen by a user

but they will be things that an operator of git lab for self-hosted or for our own internal sre team

they will have to interact with the system and so i think

that from a product standpoint too

and user experience you know we don't want to diverge too much i don't think and have you know

many different deployment models of you know components that then sres

and operators have different ways of managing and different run books

and so i think there's a lot here that we you know

if we do keep infrastructure separate uh

and you guys go down the route of kind of building

your own stuff in parallel we should at least make sure

that we're building things

that align with some principles i guess you know to make it easier for those folks

that are going to be you know managing the life cycle of of git lab

and its entirety of observability and analytics analytics and whatnot

so um we i just wanted to start the conversation um

and kind of you know introduce things for a start as a way

that I think that if you did want to use what we have,

I think it really could accelerate where you guys are knowing the effort

and time we've had to put in over the last six months.

But, you know, happy to leave that over to you guys to decide,

you know, where you'd like to use some things and help and just start the dialogue.

Yeah, no, that's great.

I mean, I think there's definitely going to be some learnings we can leverage there.

And, you know, to your point,

if we operate by the same,

you know, principles, then at least SREs won't have to worry about managing two very similar architectures,

two different ways, right?

There are some decisions we are discussions we haven't I had

in terms of like how we're going to like organize the tendency of

or how we're going to like set up this whole kind

of tracking box as we're currently calling it in terms of JetSea,

ClickHouse and Cube in terms of like,

you know, obviously we're going to operate in multiple regions.

So that's going to be useful in terms of how you're managing the provisioning of Kubernetes there.

But then, yeah, when it gets down to like per customer,

especially on .com, I'm not sure if,

well, we haven't gotten there yet,

but I'm sure there will be something we can leverage there.

I guess in terms of like where we could start to like see where this is happening,

is there a repository or does there documentation we can start to like look at,

start exploring this? Or?

Absolutely.

You start.

Yeah, I'll drop some links in to the notes here with the repositories that are relevant,

but you can go through it.

You can see all the code there.

You know, your model around having these,

you know, boxes that you're deploying into different regions

and different clouds all fits our exact same model too um

the tendency model is exactly the same um you know hence

kind of why i think personally i think it doesn't make a lot of sense to go

and rebuild all that um you know

because it's a i think it's a it's a massive undertaking um

100

and you need you know to have a team that has you know a lot of experience i think in the

101

realm of kubernetes and you know i think

102

that we can probably help you get a lot further there

103

so you can focus on more of the user facing pieces

104

and get that you know demo up and running for

105

or not the demo but you know the early alpha up

106

and running much faster right um

107

so there is um you know i sort of was seeing it as a way

108

and i talked about it with sebastian a little bit too uh he's out of office here today

109

but you know i think there is a model where we

110

could work on collaborate on the same code um without it slowing us down

111

and getting it our way because we have all the

112

pieces in place that you guys could just fill in the bits

113

that you need and deploy without you know needing us to do anything for you

114

so i think that you know might just get you a whole lot further Rahid.

115

No, great.

116

Yeah, that was the principle I don't think I very artfully said earlier.

117

I, like, GitLab, everyone can contribute.

118

Typically, we operate in one code base.

119

So I was thinking about it in those terms.

120

What I didn't want to create is,

121

like, if analytics need something,

122

they need observability to ship something first.

123

But if we're all operating from the same code base,

124

I think that's a great mental model.

125

Yeah, a shared framework

126

that also we can hopefully contribute back to to help you

127

know you know also just bring some light to y'all

128

but um yeah if we can if we can operate it in such a way

129

that we both benefit from it but we can contribute from shared work

130

or benefit from shared work but then both contribute to it hopefully have

131

that backwards then that'd be great um

132

because there's there's a bunch of different topics

133

that i have running in my mind in terms of how

134

is this all going to be maintained i've you know heard

135

from multiple people like click house requires to some degree of like you know management especially and

136

if we're going to have to have you know n number

137

of click house instances i don't even know the first thing

138

about how the things we're going to be looking at there

139

so if you've already done some work around

140

that that's already a huge boost but then yeah everything from testing run books all

141

that kind of stuff like you know product analytics currently has two engineers

142

so there's a lot of work to be done even just from a feature perspective standpoint um

143

so yeah even getting into the infrastructure part of it any

144

anything you've got will at least you know be a huge starting point um Yeah, for us.

145

If you're saying like where our tendency miles the same,

146

then there's probably a lot of you can just leverage and bootstrap off of.

147

So, yeah, it's appreciate y'all bringing it up

148

and have coming to talk about it

149

and we'll be happy to explore all the as many links you can throw our way. Of course.

150

Yeah, I think it's, you know,

151

everybody comes out stronger and better off if we can all collaborate on the same code base.

152

And we have, Kenny mentioned in here,

153

I think he's got to take it down a little further.

154

We do have a contract with Clickhouse Inc.

155

And we've been engaged with Clickhouse Inc now for a number of months,

156

working with them on a number of issues,

157

getting reviews of how we manage Clickhouse, things like this.

158

And so, you know, we're building up that muscle in the team.

159

And we've also hired some ClickHouse experts in the team.

160

So, you know, we're kind of getting more acquainted with running ClickHouse and,

161

you know, it's quirks.

162

So, you know, we can certainly help there too, I think.

163

That's amazing.

164

Cool.

165

I'll drop these links in here for the main repo.

166

We're still under heavy development, of course.

167

So not everything's there.

168

Runbooks, you won't see those in the repo yet.

169

There's things, but you'll find issues too where we can follow up on things that are yet to be done.

170

The core tenancy model deployment,

171

lifecycle, and authentication, all that stuff is all in place.

172

Yeah, authentication will be huge.

173

Right now, everything's just out,

174

as Sam saw, it's just very development purposes,

175

very out in the open.

176

So lock that out, lock that up before we start deploying it.

177

Yeah.

178

Yeah.

179

Cool.

180

Awesome.

181

All right.

182

Kenny.

183

Cool.

184

Yeah.

185

Yeah.

186

It's a private channel, but it's a direct connection between us and ClickHouse that we pay for support from them for.

187

So at any point, Dennis,

188

you and team want access to that channel.

189

Let me know.

190

I mean, if you want Dennis,

191

I can just invite you to that channel right now so you can follow along.

192

Then feel free to invite others as needed. Will do.

193

Thanks for sharing.

194

Awesome.

195

Have a couple of short points and then we'll open it up for anyone else.

196

Sam is joining us as interim product manager for product analytics.

197

I worked with him.

198

I still work with him rather in compliance.

199

um yeah sam you want to do a little quick intro

200

yeah hey folks really excited to be here um i think

201

product analytics is going to be a really exciting space to to jump in

202

and i'm excited to go on

203

that journey with you all together um like dennis said i'm

204

on the compliance team the compliance group right now um started on

205

that group in 2021 i've been with gitlab since 2019 i'm

206

based in cincinnati ohio in the united states um over the

207

next couple of weeks i'd like to to put a coffee

208

chat together with each of you just to get to know you a little bit more personally,

209

let you get to know me a little more personally.

210

And we can also talk about some work stuff along the way.

211

So I'm sure I will have lots of questions and things to discuss with each of you in the days to come.

212

And I'm excited to get things started off here today.

213

Awesome, Sam.

214

Thank you.

215

Very cool.

216

And then my last point was just kind of just getting a little bit more,

217

well, not just Sorry, just one of the highlight kind of next steps.

218

So we're headed for product analytics in that group.

219

So I'm in writing mode,

220

just trying to organize a bunch of different epics for all the different categories and features,

221

but basically just kind of taking the notes from our proof of concept demo,

222

what we've been having discussions,

223

you know, online and offline.

224

and I'm just trying to get an idea of all the

225

things we've been thinking about what we want to do for things like product analytics,

226

instrumentation and whatnot, and then starting to nail

227

that down into more of an MVC in terms of what we really want to pursue for those.

228

But in terms of a more immediate focus,

229

I think discussions between Kenny,

230

Tim and I, we're looking at product analytics or more specifically,

231

you know, web and mobile analytics in terms of how just your general setting up instrumentation,

232

trying to see what default dashboard you want to kind of present.

233

And also just getting a little bit more productionized.

234

And so getting some instrumentation set up to be able to track maybe the handbook,

235

maybe our design library, maybe even .com,

236

just with a targeted audience of just,

237

you know, GitLab.org, just to be able to get more information there

238

and just start dogfooding and seeing what we want to really provide there in terms of your general web analytics.

239

So that's what's coming up for the product analytics group um yeah

240

and dennis i know uh i don't know

241

if you want to discuss here the like tactical process of taking all of the vision poc

242

and breaking that down into epics and issues

243

and kind of targeting what our initial first mvcs versus subsequent ones is a big task

244

so how can sam still ramping up so this should be on me this week but how can I help this week?

245

I know we have some time,

246

but is there something that I can start contributing to or reviewing or putting that on paper?

247

So, I mean, the main point

248

that I'm trying to push out is just to organize all the different areas so

249

that we at least have like it organized within our on GitLab.com in terms of like everyone can start editing

250

and having discussions there.

251

So I will drop a link in the section channel probably end of day today

252

or tomorrow to just have the general structure of all the different epics in terms of the features

253

and then start building out that list.

254

So if anyone wants to jump in and just start,

255

you know, even, you know,

256

all the wild ideas that we were discussing in terms of like what we could provide to the features,

257

like feel free to add that to the epics.

258

um there's no strict policy on who's uh who can do what

259

so any as

260

if anyone has anything i'd like to add in terms of

261

like things we should be thinking about uh for any of

262

the features we want to build out then um please do um that's all i'd ask

263

but yeah right now i'm just putting the general structure together just

264

so that um we have somewhere to record all this stuff so okay

265

and this is we can start to to to filter out

266

from there i think what i can do this week is

267

make sure I'm contributing to you know like our what's next section we've been updating

268

but it's still pretty vague I want to maybe try to get something very crisp

269

that will help if we can use

270

that discussion in an MR to like really target what is

271

you know milestones one through three specific focus going to be yeah I'll work on

272

that for sure yeah that's that's the general goal of um

273

I think what we'll be both be working on then is just like

274

or in Sam as well as he ramps up there's just

275

to give a little bit more of a clearer direction than yeah we want to build an analytics thing so yeah

276

yeah and i'm happy to help with either of those initiatives i'll be ramping up

277

but i'm still willing to contribute things this week

278

so don't uh feel free feel free to pull me into

279

those things i'm looking forward to it i want you to

280

tell me all of the the the tell me how poorly

281

i've organized all of it it's just gonna be perfect this

282

never never never is um cool well that's all I've got

283

as far as agenda anyone anyone else would like to share

284

anything um um Amanda I don't want to put you on the spot

285

but I um your comment about the visibility of the section thing I think seems material

286

but I didn't see anyone of a concern I didn't maybe completely understand it

287

but is is everyone aware of the change in visibility for the section group and comfortable with that change Yeah,

288

so TLDR, late Friday my time,

289

we had a report that the metrics dictionary wasn't accessible externally.

290

And it turned out it was because we moved the metrics dictionary project over to the analytics group,

291

parent group, and that parent group was private,

292

which caused only members of that domain to be able to see it.

293

So I made the parent group,

294

the analytics group, as well as the product intelligence subgroup and the metrics dictionary project,

295

all public visibility.

296

So visibility settings are least restrictive to most.

297

So you can still make things more restrictive within um but

298

if that's a problem then we can revert everything

299

and we can move metrics dictionary out to a separate patient cool good call okay

300

so the action for anyone who is like hey i wanted

301

something in there to be private is now you have to explicitly make it private

302

because it's not cool yeah no thanks for the call out

303

because i remember the visibility options being restricted and i i hadn't realized

304

that the well i i didn't create oh yeah i had the section group have had to be created

305

so it was just created as private

306

so we can be public by default there's no problem at all

307

but i think that's a good thing to call out cool thanks for the the quick action on

308

that amanda all right um anyone else would like to share

309

anything well i'm going to start uh advertising the job i

310

got the job descriptions done i have job racks open so we're hiring engineers

311

uh for for back in front of product analytics so

312

if you know anyone um i'll i'll drop the links in the agenda after this call

313

and then uh feel free to get some referrals i'd really much appreciate

314

that if there's nothing else everyone gets 10 minutes back enjoy your mondays enjoy your weeks

315

take care thanks everyone thanks guys take care

Why practice speaking with this video?

Practicing your speaking skills with the "2022-07-25 Analytics Section Meeting" video is an excellent way to immerse yourself in a professional context. In this meeting, various topics related to observability and analytics in technology are discussed, providing not only insight into the industry but also offering a real-world scenario for English learners. Engaging with this video allows you to understand how discussions unfold in professional settings, thereby enhancing your ability to participate in similar conversations.

Additionally, the structure of the meeting highlights how to introduce topics and navigate group dynamics, skills that are crucial for effective communication. By shadowing the speakers, you can practice replicating their tone, pace, and articulation—key components for boosting your overall fluency. This is ideal for those seeking to build confidence in their English speaking skills, making it a perfect addition to your shadowing site or practice routine with shadowspeak and shadow speech techniques.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

As you watch the video, pay attention to the following grammatical structures and expressions:

Conditional Statements: For instance, phrases like "if you want to stay" or "as opposed to" showcase the conditional structure that is essential for discussing possibilities and alternatives.
Present Perfect Tense: The speaker mentions, "we have invested a lot," which demonstrates the use of the present perfect to indicate actions that have relevance to the present moment. This is a particularly useful structure when discussing ongoing projects or experiences.
Passive Voice: The expression "a lot of what I think you folks are probably going to end up having to build" exemplifies the passive voice, highlighting the action while deemphasizing the subject. This is common in formal discussions and helps in maintaining neutrality.

Practicing these expressions in context will enhance your ability to communicate effectively in professional settings and improve your shadow speaks practice.

Common Pronunciation Traps

While engaging with this video, be mindful of certain tricky words and phrases that may pose pronunciation challenges:

Observability: This term can be difficult to pronounce correctly. Focus on the individual syllables to avoid mispronunciation.
Kubernetes: A widely used term in technology, "Kubernetes" can trip up non-native speakers. Pay attention to the correct stress and syllable breakdown.
ClickHouse: This name may be foreign to many learners. Make sure to practice saying it clearly to ensure effective communication when discussing relevant tools.

Being aware of these pronunciation traps as you shadow the speaker will greatly enhance your clarity and confidence when speaking. By utilizing these insights, you can effectively improve your spoken English through targeted practice in a professional context.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
