Unify your application and infrastructure observability
In cloud native environments, finding and resolving issues across services and between application and infrastructure dependencies can be challenging. In this session, learn about Grafana Cloud’s latest capabilities for correlating application and infrastructure observability. You will hear how we unify and contextualize service relationships and application and infrastructure dependencies to help you resolve problems faster.
- Myrle Krantz, Engineering Director, Grafana Labs
- 10:15 a.m.
Observability as Code at /LiveRamp
Leveraging Terraform alongside Grafana, Kubernetes, and Helm providers, the SRE team at LiveRamp has transformed every aspect of their operational toolkit. From agent installations and synthetic checks to Grafana k6 performance testing, notification policies, contact points, and alerts into modular, code-based components, the team is crafting a cutting-edge observability solution powered by Grafana Cloud. Learn how this seamless integration ensures a robust, scalable, and easily manageable infrastructure that is setting new benchmarks for system reliability and efficiency around the business.
- Chung Tran, Technical Lead Manager, SRE, LiveRamp
- Rajendra Vaishnav, Senior SRE, LiveRamp
- Dalfany Cruz, SRE, LiveRamp
- 10:45 a.m.
Morning Break
- 11:15 a.m.
Manage rising metrics and logging costs with Grafana Cloud
Are your SRE and platform teams under pressure to ingest fewer metrics and logs in the name of cost savings? Reducing costs does not have to mean reduced observability. In this session, we will walk through the cost management features in Grafana Cloud that allow you to analyze, attribute, monitor, and optimize your metrics and logs usage – and lower costs – without compromising your observability strategy.
- Nick Fuzer, Senior Product Manager, Grafana Labs
- 11:45 a.m.
Prioritize critical resources with SLO-driven IRM
A majority of respondents in our Observability Survey said they were using SLOs or moving in that direction. For good reason: By highlighting the most critical error budget burndown, service level objectives (SLOs) can help you prioritize performance issues based on business impact. In this session, we will walk through how Grafana Cloud’s integrated SLO and Incident Response Management capabilities can help you identify the most important issues and resolve them quickly.
- Devin Cheevers, Product Manager, Grafana Labs
- Sarah Kaplan, Senior Engineering Manager, Grafana Labs
- 12:15 p.m.
Lunch
- 1:15 p.m.
Building scalable OSS observability with Mimir, Loki, Tempo, and Pyroscope
Get the latest news about the scalability and performance of the open source telemetry backends that make up the Grafana LGTM Stack: Grafana Mimir for Prometheus metrics, Grafana Loki for logs, and Grafana Tempo for traces. Learn about our newest OSS database, Grafana Pyroscope for continuous profiling, which provides insights into resource usage and latency down to the code level. Finally, find out how to correlate profiles with metrics, logs, and traces for a more holistic view of system health and performance.
- Ed Welch, Principal Software Engineer, Grafana Labs
- Dmitry Filimonov, Principal Engineer, Grafana Labs
- 2:00 p.m.
Enhancing Observability Workflows with AI/ML
At Grafana Labs, we’re excited about the role AI/ML can have in bridging the gap between humans and the beyond-human scale of observability data we work with every day. In this session, you’ll learn about the features leveraging AI/ML that we’ve already released, what’s next, and what the future could hold. We’ll also talk about our big tent, open source approach to enabling the community to use AI/ML to power up the data sources, visualizations, and flows that you build into Grafana everywhere.
- Bob Cotton, Distinguished Engineer, Grafana Labs
- 2:30 p.m.
User-centered observability: load testing, real user monitoring, and synthetics
Understanding your end users’ experience with your applications and services is critical, and there are a variety of tools to help. But there are also a number of different use cases: During development or in production? Simulate user behavior or monitor real user behavior? What should you use and when? In this session, we will explore when and how to apply load testing, synthetic monitoring, and real user monitoring to gain insights into the end user experience of your critical applications.
- Elliot Kirk, Senior Software Engineer, Grafana Labs
- 3:00 p.m.
Reception + Expo
Join us for a hosted reception while networking with attendees and meeting Grafana experts in the Expo hall.
