Talk #1 Abstract:

When something goes wrong in production - it can be really tricky to figure out what actually went wrong. Was it user error? Bad input? Infra issues?

OpenTelemetry is a fast-growing CNCF project that makes it easier than ever to instrument your code to tell you what is going wrong in production, providing a set of SDKs to easily collect logs, metrics, traces and more to pin point what went wrong in production.

In this talk we'll quickly go over why debugging production is challenging, how OpenTelemetry can help, and how easy it is to get set up for any JS project.

Talk #2 Abstract:

Marko is an open source, declarative JavaScript framework made for eBay with a focus on server-side rendering. For nearly a decade, it has been at the forefront of many of the technologies that are now becoming popular in other frameworks, such as streaming and JavaScript islands. In this presentation, we will explore some of the technologies that make Marko unique and how its lessons can be applied to the broader web.
