What we’re about
Cloud Native PDX is a meetup covering all aspects of Cloud Native infrastructure, defined as software which is container packaged, dynamically managed and micro-service oriented. If you're interested in Kubernetes, Linux Containers, Platform-as-a-Service, Project Atomic, Docker, OpenShift, etcd, Harness, Google Container Engine, Katacontainers, Istio, or any of the many technologies in the new container stack, you should join us! A meetup of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.
As a meetup of the CNCF, all meetings are subject to the CNCF Code of Conduct

Agenda:
5:00pm to 5:30pm – Pizza and Networking! Food sponsored by Mezmo5:45pm - Streamlining Telemetry Data: Building a Telemetry Pipeline to Handle High-Cardinality Metrics by Chelsea Wright @ Mezmo
Handling high-cardinality telemetry data efficiently is crucial for modern observability systems. In this session, we will explore strategies for designing a scalable telemetry pipeline that can process large volumes of diverse metrics without performance bottlenecks. We’ll cover best practices for data ingestion, storage optimization, and query performance, along with real-world techniques to mitigate challenges like high dimensionality and resource constraints. Attendees will gain insights into building a robust telemetry pipeline that balances accuracy, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
6:15pm - What Producing Sound Effects Taught Me About Distributed Systems by Bret Bernhoft
As a sound designer and cloud native developer, I have discovered the art of crafting immersive audio effects mirrors the science of engineering distributed systems. In this talk, I will share how core audio production concepts like managing feedback loops, dealing with signal degradation and understanding the effects of reverb offer direct parallels to tackling challenges in microservices, observability and network latency. Just as a single, complex sound effect is built from many interdependent layers, modern applications rely on an orchestration of services and timing, demanding both precision and systems thinking.
We will explore how considering signal-to-noise ratio can clarify your logging strategies and how the art of mixing audio tracks provides valuable insights into resource limits as well as task prioritization within your deployments. By drawing on these analogies, this session aims to equip you with a new perspective that makes the complexities of cloud native architectures a bit more understandable, all through the lens of sound.
6:45pm to 8:00pm – Networking and Board games!
