How to get to the venue

• 8th Light's office is on the 5th floor
• You need to use a specific elevator bank to reach the 5th floor. It's the smaller elevator bank of the two and is found off the Washington St. entrance. If necessary there is a security desk in the lobby that can offer directions.
• Once on the 5th floor, follow signs into the office.

• Title: OpenTelemetry and Continuous Feedback - Things you need to know about your code at runtime
• Presented by: Roni Dover, Co-founder and CTO at Digma
  
• Description: What do you know about the code changes that were just introduced into the codebase? When will you start noticing if something goes wrong? If there are so many accessible observability sources that can tell us what the code is doing, why are we using so little of that in our day-to-day coding?
  Continuous Feedback is a new dev practice that aims to make practical usage of code runtime data to shorten the feedback loop during development. It enables developers to get early data about their code changes and detect issues and regressions as-they-code. At the same time, collecting data from multiple environments, allows developers to instantly understand how their code is performing in the real world.
  In this session, we'll look past the novelty of using OSS observability tools and technologies, to discuss how we can actually make them useful for developers. We'll take a look at the benefits of enabling OpenTelemetry collection for dev and test data and examine OSS tools to help analyze the application runtime. Throughout the talk, we'll go over code examples of common anti-patterns, code smells, hidden errors, and other types of problems that observability can reveal - prior to merging a PR,
  Ultimately, the goal should not be simply observing the application or creating nice-looking dashboards. Rather, success is in leveraging observability data in order to achieve a more effective dev process and write better code.
