1️⃣ Measuring what matters and setting the right expectations, Alex Ewerlöf
Service Levels (SLI/SLO) are even more relevant in the age of AI-generated blackboxes. In this talk, Alex talks about:
- A foolproof methodology to get to meaningful metrics that tie to business objectives and are worth being on-call for
- Exploring why the AI era makes Service Levels more relevant than ever, but there’s a catch.
Alex is an author and open source developer with 27 years experience and MSc in Systems Engineering from KTH. He has the last 8 years as SRE (senior and staff) helping large and small organizations measure what matters and set reasonable expectations while avoiding broken ownership. He has also spent the last few years building an AI powered (BYOK) app that replaces his role and if there’s time he may show a demo.
2️⃣ Not Just Code: My First OpenTelemetry: Contribution & Hands-On to Open Source, Imma Valls
Starting in open source can feel intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. In this session, I will share my journey into OpenTelemetry and the CNCF ecosystem, explore both code and non-code contribution paths, and demonstrate how to create and submit a pull request in a real open source project.
This session will highlight concrete next steps: LFX Mentorship, Outreachy, and Google Summer of Code, programs that offer mentorship and visibility to help you make that first contribution with support. Whether you’re a student or working professional, you’ll leave with a clear first step to take today.**
Imma Valls is a Staff Developer Advocate at Grafana Labs and an OpenTelemetry maintainer for the Spanish localization docs.
