🚀 **Build Your Own CNCF Observability Stack: Hands-On Workshop** Join us for a practical, end-to-end workshop where you’ll build a modern observability stack from the ground up using industry-standard CNCF tooling. In this session, you will learn to set up metrics with Prometheus, visualize and analyze data with Grafana, instrument your application using OpenTelemetry, and implement distributed tracing with Jaeger. You’ll also apply best practices for collecting, managing, and interpreting telemetry data. This is a fully hands-on session, so come ready to build, break, and learn. By the end, you’ll have a working observability stack and a clear understanding of how to instrument and monitor your own applications in real-world environments. 🛠️ No prior observability experience required, but basic familiarity with containers or cloud-native concepts will help. **A laptop is required to participate.**

Come along and mingle with other developers, hear about GitHub, and get excited for all the amazing things happening this year. Food will be provided, and there will be SWAG (including some limited edition lunar new year merch), so get excited! Agenda: 5.30pm - Arrival 6pm - Welcome 6:10pm - Talk: Agentic Workflows The Next Evolution of CI/CD with AJ 7pm onwards - Food, networking, drinks, and SWAG There will be a door prize for this event, so make sure you come along. Talk abstract: Agentic workflows are reshaping how engineering teams build, test and ship software. Traditional CI/CD pipelines gave us automation and consistency, but they were never designed for a world where AI can reason, adapt and act with context. This session explores how continuous AI represents the natural evolution of CI/CD, moving from static pipelines to intelligent systems that can analyse code, make decisions and orchestrate complex tasks across the development lifecycle including a fun star wars twist. Thank you to our generous sponsor Versent (venue).

We are excited to host Pavel for our next Melb.NET event where we discuss PR Reviews and how we can reduce the bottleneck effect they have on our development velocity! **Agenda:** * 5:30pm arrival - Food and drinks provided in-person * 6pm kickoff - Welcome & Introduction and few words from our Sponsors - 10 min * 6:10pm - Session 1 * 6.45pm - Session 2 **Session 1:** Breaking the PR Review Bottleneck by [Pavel Oborin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/poborin/) Pull request reviews are often the biggest bottleneck in software delivery, especially for distributed teams. What takes minutes to write can sit for days waiting for review, killing development velocity. The open source world has solved this at scale. Major projects like Kubernetes, Rust, and React coordinate thousands of contributors with sophisticated review strategies that go far beyond traditional approaches. This session explores proven techniques from leading OSS projects and how to adapt them for your teams: early design alignment, automated reviewer assignment, merge automation, cultural process shifts, velocity metrics, and modern workflow patterns. You'll leave with practical strategies to eliminate review bottlenecks and measurably improve your team's delivery speed. **Session 2:** How to achieve PR Flow in Messy Legacy Codebases by [Alex Phomphoukhao](https://www.linkedin.com/in/aphomphoukhao/) Exploring how we improved PR flow in a complex legacy .NET codebases. Covering metrics, workshop-driven changes, and how AI tools like GitHub Copilot and CodeRabbit helped reduce review load and speed up delivery. **Hosts:** * [William Liebenberg](https://www.linkedin.com/in/william-liebenberg/) \- Microsoft \.NET MVP \| Consultant at Arinco * [Bron Thulke](https://www.linkedin.com/in/bronthulke/) \- Microsoft \.NET MVP \| CTO / Co\-Founder at YouLi * [Bill Chesnut](https://www.linkedin.com/in/billchesnut/) \- Microsoft Azure MVP \| Consultant at SixPivot * [Tama Waddell](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tama-waddell/) \- Consultant at Arinco **Sponsors:** We have some amazing sponsors that help make this event possible: * [Arinco](https://arinco.com.au/) \- Venue\, Food and Drinks **Location:** In-Person at Arinco Melbourne.
