Cloud Native Brand New Day

Creative Software

Get ready for an exciting event with **Grafana & Friends Pune: Happy Hours**! Grafana Labs is all set to host its next happy hour in collaboration with **[OpenGov](https://opengov.com)**.

**Agenda:**
Here's the detailed agenda of the meetup :

* **10:00 am** \- Intro and Welcome

* **10:30 am- 11:05 am:**
**Session 1: AI-Powered Autonomous Incident Investigation**, **[Kushal Gangan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kushal-gangan/)** (Principal Architect (DevOps), [Caizin](https://caizin.ai))
**About Session:** This session explores how AI agents can transform Grafana alerting into intelligent incident investigation. Through a live demo, I will show how agents correlate metrics, logs, Kubernetes events, and recent deployments to identify root causes and recommend fixes directly into a PR. I will also discuss autonomous investigations, guardrails, and human approval to make AI-assisted incident response reliable and safe.

* **11:10 am - 11:45 am:**
**Session 2: Managing GitHub with a Custom Kubernetes Controller, [Abhilash Supare](http://linkedin.com/in/abhilash-supare-5bb92b83)** (Devops Engineer, [OpenGov](https://opengov.com))
**About Session:** The problem: GitHub has no desired state, and managing it with one shared Terraform workspace made every change slow.
Why a controller: Kubernetes is already a reconcile engine. An honest look at the alternatives (Terraform, Crossplane, GitHub rulesets), and the price of building our own.
The design: a YAML file as the API, the path from a request form to a live repo, the reconcile loop, detecting and reverting drift, and calling GitHub without getting throttled.
Making delete safe: tombstones, a deletion cap, finalizers and an admission policy that blocks kubectl delete, and the lessons we learned the hard way.
Live demo (about 6 min): merge a PR and a repo appears, break its branch protection by hand and watch it heal.

* **11:50 noon - 12:25 pm:**
**Session 3: LGTM: Ship the database, [Pranav Joglekar](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pranav-joglekar/)** (Founding Engineer, [Infino AI](https://infino.ai))
**About Session:** This talk covers how we use our self hosted LGTM stack ( Loki, Grafana, Tempo & Mimir ) to help us build & scale Infino.
\- Introduction about Infino\, its architecture & why latency matters for us\.
\- What is LGTM and how Infino uses the stack and other features\, especially from the POV of a database company
\- Deep dive into tempo\, tracing & profiling in rust\. What it is\, how to set it up & use it\.
\- Distributed tracing and how it's orchestrated \( at Infino \)\. \( ui\.perfetto\.dev for profiling \)
\- Talk about how we were able to 10x the optimizer speed and how tracing helped us do this quickly and confidently\.
\- Using it in the age of AI with an MCP demo\.

* **12:30 pm - 01:05 pm:**
**Session 4: Platform Data Analytics Observability: Turning Platform Telemetry into Actionable Insights, [Mohammad Zuber Rangari](http://linkedin.com/in/mohammad-zuber-rangari-7b6a06285)** (Platform Engineer, [OpenGov](https://opengov.com))
**About Session:** Building effective observability through metrics, logs, and traces to identify performance trends and anomalies.
Applying SLIs, SLOs, and actionable alerts to improve reliability.
Turning observability into actionable insights for optimization

* **01:05 pm Onwards:**
Networking, and Snacks

*We look forward to meeting you in person for a morning filled with insightful sessions, networking, and shared experiences!* *For any questions or to express interest in future speaking opportunities, please contact the organizers.*
