Applications, Platforms, and Infrastructure Oh My! What Is the TAG App Delivery Doing to Support You - Daniel Oh, Red Hat; Roberth Strand, Sopra Steria; Ryan Nowak, Microsoft; Abby Bangser, Syntasso

Thursday November 14, 2024 2:30pm - 3:05pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 3 | 355 EF

TAG App Delivery focuses on how organizations can deliver cloud-native applications. To succeed, there are a number of hard questions that need to be answered: How can platform teams do a better job of enabling developers? How can developers help platform teams to understand better their development needs and their technology stack specific requirements? Which artifacts will be created and by whom? What does it take to provision a development environment? Which tools are involved? This panel will highlight how the TAG Working Groups including App Development, Platform, Infrastructure, and Artifacts are helping build a unified view of how to successfully deliver cloud native applications at scale.

Fluent Bit: Better Pipelines for Observability - Eduardo Silva, Chronosphere

Thursday November 14, 2024 4:30pm - 5:05pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 3 | 355 EF

Creating better data pipelines is constantly challenging when "better" is defined by performance, low resource usage, and total ecosystem integration. In this session, we will dive deep into Fluent Bit, a CNCF graduate project under the Fluentd umbrella that helps you build scalable data pipelines to manage all your needs for the collection and processing of telemetry data by integrating multiple data sources and formats and reliably sending it to your desired endpoints or vendors for analysis. Attendees of this session will learn about best practices for telemetry data handling and important concepts such as buffering, backpressure, monitoring, and retry logic, among many others. Fluent Bit, which was primarily known for managing logs, now also handles metrics and traces. It fully integrates with applications based on Prometheus or OpenTelemetry formats.

Speakers

Eduardo Silva

OSS Engineering Manager, Chronosphere

Eduardo is an entrepreneur and Software Engineer. He is one of Fluentd project maintainers and creator of Fluent Bit, a lightweight Logs, Metrics, and Traces processor.
