Wide events are a very well known approach, especially if you do any work with observability, and articles about it have been on the HN front page too. You not knowing about something does not automatically make it a narrow niche.
- zahlman 2y agoFrom my point of view, "it has something to do with web dev" already makes it a niche. And as a rule of thumb, if you're using letter-number-letter abbreviations like "o11y" and assuming everyone knows what you're talking about, you're in a niche. (E.g.: I could parse "i18n" and "l10n" already, but I wouldn't expect random HN readers to. When I first saw "k8s" and looked it up I thought "man, really?".)
- antonvs 2y agoNone of this is web dev specific. It applies most strongly to distributed systems, of which web systems are a subset, but in principle it can apply to any system with non-trivial requirements around logging and metrics.
