Tentative Schedule:

**Starting with OpenTelemetry -** Marylia Gutierrez (Grafana Labs)
Have you heard about OpenTelemetry (OTel), but you don't know what it is or how to use it? This talk introduces OpenTelemetry, a powerful and open-source observability framework. We will explore how OpenTelemetry standardizes the collection of telemetry data—logs, metrics, and traces—across various platforms, cover its core components and have a demo on how to see this data in Grafana.

**Simplifying performance testing with k6 Studio** \- Cris Ventura \(Grafana Labs\)
This talk will showcase k6 Studio, a desktop application that helps you create, run, and analyze performance tests. It provides a user-friendly interface, making load testing more efficient and accessible for developers and QA teams.

**Warpstream: The kafka abstraction on s3 which powers Mimir cloud** \- Arjun Nair \(Warpstream\)
The talk goes over the implementation system of a next generation kafka/streaming system from first principles and how it can help scale something like production level monitoring databases.

​*We are officially part of Toronto Tech Week 2025\, a weeklong citywide collection of events to connect and celebrate the builders\. June 23 → June 27\, 2025 \| [torontotechweek.com](http://torontotechweek.com/).*
