Leiden.dev • Observability • Kotlin Multiplatform

June edition

Two talks this month! Adam will talk about Observability and Traces, and Konstantin will tell you about Kotlin Compose Multiplatform.

Observability and Distributed Traces by Adam Hynes
Microservices give us flexibility and scale, but they make it surprisingly hard to answer simple questions like "why was that slow?" or "where did that error come from?" This talk walks through distributed tracing from the ground up: what spans and traces are, how they're collected and connected, and how they fit into a modern observability stack. No prior experience needed, just curiosity about how distributed systems tick.

All platforms are unique but some platforms are more unique than others by Konstantin Tskhovrebov
Compose Multiplatform supports all modern platforms for writing applications. To achieve this, we at JetBrains devote a lot of time and attention to deep integration with each platform. Every platform has its own unique challenges. In this talk, I want to focus on how I supported several features on the web target. What problems and peculiarities I encountered, and how I solved them.
