Grafana & Friends Munich

Welcome to our early July Meetup of 2025, hosted by the folks of PureStorage.

Talk 1)
Data Sovereignity for Container Landscapes
Markus Grau, Pure Storage

Talk 2)
GrafanaCon 2025 keynote
Richi Hartman, Grafana Labs
Straight from the opening keynote of GrafanaCon Seattle in May, let's walk through all the recent updates coming from Grafana Labs. As some time has passed, all slides have been updated to reflect the current state. (edited)

Talk 3)
Zero Code Instrumentation with eBPF
Fabian Stäber, Grafana Labs
Instrumenting applications for observability is often harder than it should be. Traditional approaches depend on language-specific libraries that vary widely in maturity, complexity, and support — making consistent instrumentation across services a real challenge.
Grafana Beyla changes that. Built on eBPF, Beyla provides zero code instrumentation for HTTP and gRPC services directly at the kernel level — no code changes, no language-specific libraries. It works seamlessly across a wide range of programming languages and frameworks, making it the easiest way to start your observability journey in modern microservices environments.
In this talk, we’ll explore how Beyla simplifies observability, and demonstrate its capabilities in real-world scenarios. We’ll also share exciting news: Grafana Labs has donated Beyla to the OpenTelemetry project, and we're now collaborating on the new OpenTelemetry eBPF instrumentation SIG — joining forces to build a next generation eBPF instrumentation tool backed by the community.
