Join us for the next OTel Night in Berlin as we dive deep into the world of eBPF instrumentation for OpenTelemetry! This special evening brings together experts to explore both different instrumentation approaches, showcasing the cutting edge of observability technology.

Schedule

18:00 - 18:30 - Doors open & networking
Arrive early to connect with fellow observability enthusiasts

18:30 - 18:40 - Welcome & Introduction
Brief overview of the evening's theme and speakers

18:40 - 19:20 - Eden Federman: OTel Go Auto-Instrumentation
Eden will introduce eBPF fundamentals and demonstrate how its kernel-level instrumentation delivers minimal overhead while enabling language-agnostic observability. Learn how eBPF combined with OpenTelemetry is helping enterprises build a new standard instrumentation platform architecture with unprecedented system introspection capabilities.

19:20 - 19:30 - Break & refreshments

19:30 - 20:10 - Goutham Veeramachaneni (Grafana): When eBPF Shines and When It Doesn't
Goutham has been using Beyla / OBI for multiple use cases since Beyla's inception nearly two years ago. He will share where eBPF-based instrumentation shines, where it fails, and how you can make the choice for when to use what.

20:10 - 20:30 - Q&A and open discussion
Join the conversation about eBPF instrumentation approaches

20:30 onwards - Networking & drinks
Continue the discussions in a relaxed atmosphere
