Title of Talk:
What about MCP?

Abstract:
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a new standard for connecting AI assistants to external systems. In this talk I’ll share a developer’s perspective on where MCP could be useful, the kinds of challenges that come up when building servers, and how we’re approaching them at Fiberplane.

Title of Talk:
Making sense of Kafka metrics with Agentic design

Abstract:
In this talk we will look at how to track and export Kafka metrics from a Kafka production cluster to an observability system like Parseable. We'll then deep dive into the metrics data, its implications and more. Finally we'll look at a LLM based agentic style workflow to see how to predict metrics data points, set up relevant alerts and create actionable insights from this metrics data.

Bio:
Bio: Debabrata Panigrahi is a founding engineer at Parseable, building a unified observability platform. Previously led DevRel at Harness for the Internal Developer Portal; OSS contributor to Kubernetes, Chaos Mesh, and Backstage.
