5:45pm - Using eBPF to debug your running apps and AI agents 10-20x faster by Tyler Flint @ Qpoint

eBPF technology is completely revolutionizing how we monitor, operate, and control applications running on Linux. Traditional APM, monitoring tools, and network solutions are feeling more like a hammer and chisel compared to the new capabilities that are now emerging.

As apps and AI agents are becoming more and more distributed with ever-increasing critical dependencies on external LLMs, SaaS APIs, and even internal micro-services, these legacy solutions aren’t cutting it. Let’s take a look at how these modern eBPF capabilities and tools can keep up with your AI-enhanced and now faster-than-ever workflows.

6:15pm - Live, Laugh, Log by Paige Cruz
Telemetry pipelines are the unsung heroes that shepherd data from applications and infrastructure to your observability and monitoring systems. It’s often up to SRE to ensure these pipelines are in tip-top shape, allowing logs to flow freely. However, a lot can go awry on the journey a log takes—from source issues and bad data formatting to misconfigured processing steps, congestion and under-provisioning. Buckle up as we dive into operating and monitoring Fluent Bit, helping you live, laugh, and log reliably.

6:45pm to 8:00pm – Networking and Board games!
