We are excited to announce the December meetup scheduled for Thursday, December 18th.

1st Presentation:
Live Tailing Kubernetes Logs with Gonzo: An Open Source TUI for Real-Time Insight

Kubernetes makes it easy to scale workloads, but wrangling the flood of logs from pods, services, and sidecars is another story. While dashboards and log drains are powerful, sometimes what you really need is a fast, focused way to see what’s happening right now.

Enter Gonzo — an open source, OTLP-native terminal UI, inspired by K9s, that brings real-time log streaming and AI-assisted analysis directly to your terminal. In this session, we’ll walk through how Gonzo plugs into Kubernetes clusters to live-tail logs from workloads, collectors, or observability backends, with zero vendor lock-in. You’ll see demos of:

\- Streaming logs from pods with kubectl logs\, Stern\, K9s\, EKS/CloudWatch\, or Loki directly into Gonzo
\- Using custom log formats for Kubernetes JSON logs
\- Highlighting patterns and anomalies instantly\, without waiting on a backend index
\- Optional AI features for surfacing the “needle in the haystack”
