This is the second of a series of meetups dedicated to exploring the exciting world of **[OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/)** within the cloud-native ecosystem. Whether you're just curious about observability or already a seasoned OpenTelemetry user, this series will offer valuable insights, practical knowledge, and opportunities to connect with fellow enthusiasts in the Barcelona cloud-native community. **Location** [Glovo](https://about.glovoapp.com/): c/Llull 108\, Barcelona \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/371qvgfN5jj7atpcA](https://maps.app.goo.gl/371qvgfN5jj7atpcA) ** Here's a sneak peek of the agenda:** **18:30:** Check-in and welcome **18:45:** ️ "**The 44% Price I Paid for Observability**" by **[Adrián Pastén](https://www.linkedin.com/in/adrian-pasten/)**, Software Engineer at [ApiumHub](https://www.linkedin.com/company/apium_hub/)**.** I added OpenTelemetry to find performance bottlenecks in my Kubernetes PHP application. Instead, OTEL became the bottleneck - consuming 44% of my system capacity and dropping throughput from 2,519 to 1,400 requests per second. Through live metrics and real production scenarios, I'll share what auto-instrumentation actually costs, when observability tools become performance killers, and practical strategies for getting the insights you need without destroying the speed you fought for. **19:15:** ️ **"Efficient Tail Sampling at Glovo"** by **[Dani Medina](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dani-medina-3084b878/)**, Principal Software Engineer at [Glovo](https://about.glovoapp.com/) In this insightful talk, Dani delves into how Glovo has implemented a tailored tail sampling strategy to achieve two critical objectives: keeping operational costs under control and empowering developers to identify error traces effectively. **19:45 - 20:30:** Networking, Snacks, and Drinks We appreciate **[Glovo](https://about.glovoapp.com/)**'s generosity in hosting us at their Barcelona office and providing snacks & refreshments. Thank you so much See you there!

At InnoIT Consulting, we are delighted to invite you to our upcoming meetup, organized in collaboration with Sony AI, on **Wednesday, February 25th.** ️*Transforming scientific literature into discovery at Sony AI* The speaker will be **[Miquel Ferrer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/miquel-ferrer-5a97651/)** (ML/AI Engineer at Sony AI). **SUMMARY** In this talk we will gain insight into how **AI can act as a bridge across domains**, transforming the overwhelming scale of modern research into a **proactive engine for discovery**. In an era where **thousands of papers are published daily**, even the most specialized experts struggle to stay afloat. However, the sheer volume of global research represents more than a management challenge—it is a **massive, untapped resource for discovery**. In this session, we will explore how **AI can transform the vast body of scientific literature** into an **interconnected system of concepts and entities**. Moving beyond simple search and efficiency, we discuss how modeling the **evolution of knowledge** enables us to uncover **“scientifically plausible links”**—**hidden connections across domains**, such as **biology and medicine**, that are supported by data but **have not yet been articulated in print**. By leveraging AI to **bridge these silos**, we can move from **managing what is known** to **predicting the next frontier of scientific breakthroughs**. **This event is for you if you’re in:** AI/ML, Data & Analytics, NLP/LLMs, Knowledge Graphs/Ontologies, Search/IR, MLOps, or Data Engineering and want to turn research into actionable discovery. With time for a dynamic **Q&A session and, of course, our networking with food and drinks .** ** Do you want to come along?** Share this invitation with all your contacts, or click the "share" button below. **WHEN:** Wednesday, February 25th at 6:30 PM **WHERE:** Oficinas InnoIT Consulting, [C/ Diputació, 280, Bajos 2ª, 08009, Barcelona](https://maps.app.goo.gl/zC6Sf2jUogxauX317) **LANGUAGE:** English **Join our [newsletter](https://www.inno-it.es/newsletter/)!** Don't miss out on upcoming events, exciting news and special job offers. *InnoIT Consulting, Sony AI*

**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
