Here are the talks we've prepared for you:

1. Metrics, Logs, and Traces: What's the Difference? [15 min]

• Description: Metrics, Logs, and Traces are often referred to as the Three Pillars of Observability. In this brief overview, we'll see what purpose each of these signals serves and how you can switch between them while preserving your search context.
• Speaker: Stefano Boriero, Staff Software Engineer at Ocado Technology

2. Cilium & Grafana LGTM! [35 min]

• Description: Learn how Cilium leverages eBPF to provide observability data with Prometheus metrics for your applications without having to modify the application itself. See a demo application's performance and metrics when increasing request volumes and how to link metrics to traces in Grafana to monitor HTTP Requests.
• Speaker: Raymond de Jong, Field CTO EMEA at Isovalent

3. Why ChatOps is Bad for Your Observability [30 min]

• Description: Mike will discuss what can be considered "good" alerting, why chatops-based solutions contribute to anti-patterns, and which tools are better suited for the job.
• Speaker: Mikhail Toldov, Lead SRE for a videoconferencing service

Join us for casual networking after the presentations, with complimentary drinks and nibbles 🍻

See you soon! 🎄
