Abstracts:

Visualizing video game telemetry without breaking the bank

Games generate massive data streams, and many game studios rely on Kafka to ingest it. Cost is a limiting factor on the granularity of data they can collect, but more data leads to better decision making and a better player experience. Replacing traditional kafka with Confluent Freight clusters will reduce the cost of telemetry ingestion and still allow Studios to use downstream tools, like Elastic Cloud, to work with the data in near real time. Attendees will learn about the integration of Elastic Cloud and Confluent Freight, as well as gain some insights into what makes their favorite games come to life.

MCP: The Missing Piece in AI Agent Workflows

The AI landscape is exploding, with agents poised to revolutionize industries.

This isn't just another framework; MCP is the dynamic brain that brings order to the AI agent revolution. Imagine seamless orchestration of diverse AI models, lightning-fast task execution, and crystal-clear visibility into every decision. MCP delivers just that, empowering your AI agents to move beyond simple tasks and tackle complex, real-world challenges with unprecedented efficiency and reliability. Get ready to supercharge your AI workflows and unleash a new era of intelligent automation – because with MCP, the future of AI is now!

Automating Synthetic Monitoring with Warp, Gemini & MCP

This talk will guide you through the process of creating an application that automatically generates playwright browser tests for use with Elastic Synthetics, as well as explore the opportunities and challenges of developing with MCP. You will learn how, using MCP, you can create a plugin for Warp (an AI-assisted terminal) that will allow you to quickly create browser tests in minutes.
