**[Celonis](https://www.celonis.com/)**: Pl\. de Manuel Gómez\-Moreno\, 2 Madrid \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/tSeuMHXwwvaTC9VH9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/tSeuMHXwwvaTC9VH9)

**📅 Agenda:**
**18:30:** Abrimos puertas y bienvenida 👋
**18:45:** 🎙️ "**Recapitulando la Keynote de GrafanaCON 2025**", [Imma Valls](https://www.linkedin.com/in/imma-valls/) \- Staff Developer Advocate en Grafana Labs
Presentaremos los puntos clave y anuncios más relevantes de la keynote de GrafanaCON 2025.
**19:15:** 🎙️ **“Sin rastro (de queries): Simplificando el troubleshooting con Tempo y Traces Drilldown en Grafana”** by [Mario Rodríguez](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariorodriguezvi%C3%B1as/) \- Senior Software Engineer en Grafana Labs
Examinar la avalancha de datos de nuestros sistemas distribuidos puede ser abrumador, pero no tiene por qué serlo.
En esta charla descubrirás cómo con [Traces Drilldown](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/explore/simplified-exploration/traces/), con tecnología [Tempo](https://grafana.com/oss/tempo/), se puede simplificar la resolución de problemas complejos, ayudándote a detectar rápidamente problemas de latencia, identificar tendencias de errores e identificar anomalías. Todo esto sin tener que aprender otro lenguaje de consulta. Para quienes se inician en las trazas distribuidas, sabemos que empezar con las métricas derivadas de las trazas puede ser abrumador al principio. Por eso, la página principal de Drilldown Traces consolida los datos de las trazas en una vista intuitiva.
**20:00 - 21:00:** Networking con pizzas y bebidas 🍻🍕

No faltará el picoteo post evento después de las charlas ¿te unes al evento? Sería un placer verte y charlar contigo 🎉 ¡Nos vemos!

GrafanaCON Recap Madrid

Celonis SL

​Join us for a number of interactive sessions on how to instrument, monitor and graph pretty much anything with purely Open Source Tools. We'll be hosting live demos, workshops on best practices and provide an opportunity for you to network with your tech peers in Toronto.

Register: [https://lu.ma/k8ranqkw](https://lu.ma/k8ranqkw)

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/).*

Welcome to our summer Meetup of 2025, hosted by the lovely folks of QAWare.

Talk 1)
**Rethinking Cloud Observability – An Approach with Grafana Beyla and Pyroscope**
*Franz Wimmer, QAWare*

Traditional monitoring approaches reach their limits in modern cloud environments. Distributed systems, dynamic scaling, and complex dependencies require new methods for monitoring and optimizing applications. Cloud observability is based on logs, metrics, and traces, which together provide a comprehensive picture of system health.Grafana Beyla and Grafana Pyroscope are powerful open-source tools available for in-depth analysis. Beyla uses eBPF for agentless tracing and metrics collection with minimal overhead, while Pyroscope enables continuous profiling to uncover bottlenecks at the code level. This combination allows developers to specifically identify and resolve latency, resource usage, and performance issues.The targeted use of these technologies helps optimize cloud architectures, reduce downtime, and sustainably improve system performance.Both solutions can be seamlessly integrated into Kubernetes, the industry standard for cluster orchestration. We’ll see how this works in practice through a live demo.

Talk 2)
**Putting the Pro in Profiles**
*Ismail Simsek, Grafana Labs*
Continuous Profiling is the next frontier in observability, promising deep insights into system performance with minimal overhead. Yet for many developers, the thought of flamegraphs, stacks, and CPU cycles can feel like black magic. In this talk, we'll break down profiling into something not just accessible, but empowering.
You'll discover why profiles are a missing pillar of observability, how continuous profiling changes the game compared to traditional tools, and why flamegraphs — despite their intimidating looks — are actually intuitive and powerful once demystified. Along the way, we'll explore practical examples where profiling turned sluggish systems into high-performers and revealed optimization opportunities worth millions.
Key takeaways:

* Understand how to use flamegraphs to spot and fix performance bottlenecks fast
* Learn practical techniques to optimize CPU, memory, and network resource usage
* See how continuous profiling transforms system observability and cost efficiency
* Gain confidence to apply profiling insights in production environments at scale

By the end of this talk,
you’ll be able to decode flamegraphs with confidence, uncover hidden performance issues across your stack, and apply continuous profiling to drive real improvements

Talk 3)
**AI at Grafana**
*Maurice Rochau, Grafana Labs*
This talk explores our AI offerings in Grafana Cloud and how we bring AI into observability. We'll introduce you to forecasting and outlier detection, must have capabilities in every observability stack, and Sift, our diagnostic assistant. We'll end by giving you an exclusive sneak peek into our newest addition, the Grafana Assistant
