Grafana & Friends France : édition de Mai chez WeScale
Grafana & Friends France : édition de Mai chez WeScale
🚀 Bienvenue Ă  l’édition de Mai de notre meetup Grafana & Friends France ! Nous sommes ravis de vous inviter au prochain meetup Grafana qui se dĂ©roulera dans les bureaux de WeScale, Ă  Paris – un immense merci Ă  eux pour leur accueil chaleureux ! **\*\*\*** Les portes ouvrent Ă  18h30, et les prĂ©sentations dĂ©buteront Ă  19h ! 📋 **Au programme :** đŸŽ™ïž **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. À travers des exemples d’architecture et des bonnes pratiques, nous explorerons comment construire une pipeline OpenTelemetry scalable et efficace. **Speaker**: Alain Pham, Principal Solutions Engineer chez Grafana Labs đŸŽ™ïž**Comment OpenTelemetry redĂ©finit l'observabilitĂ© de l'infrastructure (bye bye node exporter)** La supervision de l’infra se rĂ©sume trop souvent Ă  un assemblage de solutions diverses et variĂ©es, chacune avec ses propres standards : node exporter, Windows exporter, SNMP, etc. Avec des donnĂ©es aussi hĂ©tĂ©rogĂšnes, il est difficile, voire impossible, de les exploiter Ă  grande Ă©chelle. OpenTelemetry a permis de standardiser la collecte et de structurer les donnĂ©es cĂŽtĂ© applicatif. Et si OpenTelemetry permettait aussi de le faire pour l’infra ? Dans cette session, Bertrand Martin vous expliquera comment un collector de mĂ©triques universel open source basĂ© sur OpenTelemetry, MetricsHub, permet de collecter toutes vos mĂ©triques hardware et systĂšme, de les standardiser, et de les exploiter directement dans vos dashboards Grafana. **Speaker**: Bertrand Martin, CEO de MetricsHub Nos meetups sont ouverts Ă  tous, dĂ©butants ou experts. Au plaisir de pouvoir vous y retrouver ! #Grafana #Observability #DevOps #SRE

Agentic AI Meetup (May Edition)
Agentic AI Meetup (May Edition)
**Important**: Register on the [Event Website](https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026052010) is required for admission. **Description:** Welcome to the AI meetup in Paris, in collaboration with **[Lenstra](https://lenstra.co/)**. Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and Agent, hands-on experiences on code labs, workshops, and networking with speakers and fellow developers. **Agenda:** \- 6:00pm\~6:40pm: Checkin\, food and networking \- 6:40pm\~6:45pm: Welcome\, Community update \- 6:45pm\~8:15pm: Tech talks and Q&A \- 8:15pm\~9:00pm: Open discussion\, Mixer and Closing\. **Tech Talk: AI Regulation in Practice: Impact on Your Projects and Development Workflow** **Speaker:** Thomas Mattone - AI Adoption Lead at Lenstra **Abstract:** The EU AI Act was released in June 2024. Despite the risk of fines of up to 7% of global revenue, many companies are still unaware of it and have yet to comply with its rules on AI systems. The AI Act places concrete obligations on the models you integrate, the systems you build on top of them, and the features you ship. We will walk through the European AI regulatory landscape and the rules around AI models, transparency, data governance, and human oversight. We will then turn to a shift the AI Act barely anticipated: the rapid rise of AI agents in organizations. The global adoption of vibe coding raises new risks, from data leakage to unvetted generated code. Discover how regulation impacts your AI projects, and how to build compliant workflows. **Tech Talk: GitHub Copilot CLI and SDK** **Speaker:** Romain Boudet, CTO Hexagone AI **Abstract:** Most AI product starts with an API call. From the start we realized that at scale, that model simply does not work. In this talk, we will share how we rebuilt our pipeline from the ground up using only local models on limited GPU hardware. We will walk through the architectural decisions that made it possible: multi-model orchestration, context window management across pipeline stages, VRAM-aware concurrency, and LoRA fine-tuning for task-specific performance. This is a talk about the engineering reality of owning your stack, what it cost and what it buys you. **Speakers/Topics:** Stay tuned as we are updating speakers and schedules. If you have a keen interest in speaking to our community, we invite you to submit topics for consideration: [Submit Topics](https://forms.gle/JkMt91CZRtoJBSFUA) **Sponsors:** We are actively seeking sponsors to support AI developers community. Whether it is by offering venue spaces, providing food, or cash sponsorship. Sponsors will have the chance to speak at the meetups, receive prominent recognition, and gain exposure to our extensive membership base of 10,000+ Paris and 500K+ developers worldwide.

Building Scalable Customer Identity Resolution Pipelines on AWS Using AI
Building Scalable Customer Identity Resolution Pipelines on AWS Using AI
Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
