Grafana & Friends France : édition de Mars chez Station F
đ Bienvenue Ă lâĂ©dition de Mars de notre meetup Grafana & Friends France !
Nous sommes ravis de vous inviter au prochain meetup Grafana qui se dĂ©roulera Ă Station F, Ă Paris, via notre partenariat avec AWS â un immense merci Ă eux pour leur accueil chaleureux !
Rejoignez-nous pour des discussions techniques, des pizzas et des boissons bien fraĂźches !
**\*\*\***
Les portes ouvrent à 18h30, et les présentations débuteront à 19h !
**Au programme :**
đïž **Vos modĂšles ML en production sont-ils sous contrĂŽle ?** *FiabilitĂ©, conformitĂ©, sĂ©curitĂ© : construire un dashboard Grafana qui couvre les trois.*
DĂ©ployer un modĂšle en production, tout le monde sait faire. Le garder sous contrĂŽle â(fiabilitĂ©, coĂ»ts, conformitĂ© et sĂ©curitĂ© ) c'est une autre histoire. Prompt injection, model evasion, data poisoning : les menaces sur les workloads ML sont rĂ©elles et largement sous-monitorĂ©es. Dans ce talk, on construit ensemble un dashboard Grafana qui couvre les trois dimensions, avec des alertes concrĂštes sur des patterns d'attaque dĂ©tectables en temps rĂ©el.
**Structure :**
1. **Le problÚme** : Un modÚle en prod n'est pas une API classique : non-déterminisme, dégradation silencieuse, coûts variables⊠et surface d'attaque spécifique
2. **Les métriques qui comptent** : Latence, token consumption, drift detection cÎté fiabilité. Puis la couche sécu : détection d'anomalies sur les inputs, taux de refus anormaux, exfiltration de données via les outputs
3. **Démo live** : Dashboard Grafana avec trois volets : santé du modÚle, coûts, et panneau sécurité avec alertes sur des patterns suspects
4. **AI Act & NIS2 : pourquoi ça va devenir obligatoire** : Exigences de logging, traçabilité et monitoring des systÚmes AI à haut risque. Ceux qui monitorent déjà ont une longueur d'avance
5. **Ce qu'on ne peut pas encore faire** (2 min) : Limites actuelles et pistes ouvertes
**Speaker**: Samuel Desseaux, CTO spécialisé en observabilité industrielle et sécurité des systÚmes critiques.
đïž **OpenTelemetry Ă grande Ă©chelle : corrĂ©ler les signaux et stratĂ©gie de sampling**
DĂ©ployer OpenTelemetry Ă grande Ă©chelle pose rapidement des dĂ©fis de volume, de coĂ»ts et de lisibilitĂ© des donnĂ©es. Lorsque traces, mĂ©triques et logs se multiplient, il devient essentiel de conserver les bons signaux tout en prĂ©servant leur corrĂ©lation. Dans ce talk, nous verrons comment mettre en place des stratĂ©gies de sampling adaptĂ©es et comment maintenir la corrĂ©lation entre les signaux pour garder une observabilitĂ© exploitable dans des systĂšmes distribuĂ©s Ă fort volume. Ă travers des exemples dâarchitecture et des bonnes pratiques, nous explorerons comment construire une pipeline OpenTelemetry scalable et efficace.
**Speaker**: Alain Pham, Principal Solutions Engineer chez Grafana Labs
đŹ **20h/20h30** : Q&As et Networking
đ **21h30** : The End
Nos meetups sont ouverts à tous, débutants ou experts. Au plaisir de pouvoir vous y retrouver !

Sunday Badminton - 11am Open Session
Hi Badminton Fans!
Come and join us every Sunday for a fun session of badminton. There are usually 2 sessions to choose from,
**This 11 am - Open Session is open to players of all levels, though mainly intermediate players and below.**
**If you are a complete beginner -**
Talk to us first before signing up, and we can try to make accommodations and maybe have beginners-only court to begin with, with one of the organisers ready to explain all of the basics, such as serving, scoring, rules etc, as well as some pointers to help you progress.
**Which Session To Choose**
If you're unsure of your level, sign up for the 11am session to start, or ask us! We will try our utmost to ensure that you play with people of similar levels.
**What Do You Need**
Don't worry about equipment; racquets and shuttlecocks are provided, and there's no need for a badminton license or insurance. Just bring your indoor sports shoes, and a willingness to meet new friends and have lots of fun.
There are changing rooms and showers.
**Get There Early**
Try and get there early to change and get warmed up so that we can start right on time. The courts are normally not being used before we play, so we can get a little extra time playing.
**Registration & Payments**
Registration is 14⏠per person, and you can sign up via PayPal through this event page. For alternative payments, check for available slots on the event page first. Then, submit your payment via https://revolut.me/jonathwu3q with a description of which event you are signing up for, and send the screenshot to one of us so that we can add you.
*Please Note: If your name is **not** in the attendees list and you do not have confirmation from us, you will be turned away.*
**Annual Membership Option**
For regular players, there is the option to take out an annual membership. This costs 80⏠for the first year and is renewable each year for 40âŹ. This reduces the weekly registration fee to only 10⏠per session.
**No Refunds**
In the case of a cancellation or no-show, there are no refunds.
See you all on the court on Sunday.
Happy badminton-ing!
Kelvin (0603250357) and Vijay (0767341832),
**FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS**
1. I donât speak French, can I join?
* Yes! We are an international group and everyone speaks English!
2. Are there still available slots? I canât sign up! Help!
* Check the bottom of the event page for availabilities. Once full, RSVPs will be closed. Sign up as early as possible because the events fill up very quickly.
3. I signed up, but I canât make it! Can I get a refund?
* No refunds for cancellations or no-shows. If you inform us early enough, we can try to find a substitute and refund you, but no guarantees.
4. Why canât I get a refund?
* We need a fixed number of participants to maximize court usage, court fees, team arrangements, and team rotations. Cancelations throw all of this off.
5. Do I need to bring anything? Water? Racquets? Birdies?
* If you have your own racquet, that will be best! Otherwise, we have spare ones and we provide the shuttlecocks. Bring enough water to hydrate yourself.
