- What motivated Mike and his co-creators to build an open-source project — and how they got management buy-in at Facebook.
- The tipping point where osquery began to gain traction with engineers at leading organizations.
- How it feels to see osquery continue to grow and evolve.
- Mike’s #1 piece of advice for those embarking on a journey of trying to understand what’s going on in the systems they manage.
