About the presentation:
Grafana is undergoing a significant architectural evolution—transforming itself into an observability application platform. This talk will dive into how we’re leveraging Kubernetes API machinery to structure, version, and expose our internal APIs, and how those APIs are now aggregated and surfaced through a centralized API server. We'll walk through implementation details, show concrete examples, and explore the trade-offs that come with this approach.About our guest speaker: Stephanie Hingtgen
Stephanie is a backend software engineer working on App Platform. Prior to working on app platform, she was working on Grafana Cloud, including Private Data Source Connect.
