Agenda

Registrations & Introduction
How We Avoid Outages: Circuit Breakers and Fail-Safe Patterns for Distributed Systems	Learn how we use circuit breakers and fail-safe patterns to keep microservices resilient in production — from app-level implementations in Quarkus to mesh-level strategies with Istio. Real-world lessons, fallbacks, and observability tips included.
Tracing the Truth with OpenTelemetry	Democratize the fundamentals of observability and shed some light over distributed tracing, the open-source standard, and the technical details which make them possible.
Orchestrating and Monitoring Data Pipelines with Argo Workflows and Prometheus	Introduce the community to Argo Workflows for managing and automating data pipelines, also demonstrate how to integrate Prometheus for effective monitoring and alerting.
Intelligent Conversational Framework for Real-Time Data Pipeline Diagnostics and Operations in Cloud-Native Environments	1. Introduce AI Agents and Orchestration • Explain the role of LLM-based agents in data engineering workflows. • Show how tools like LangChain and LangGraph enable modular reasoning and API integration. 2. Define a Real-Time Metric Retrieval Pipeline • Outline how to collect diagnostic metrics from a Spark-based environment (e.g., Databricks) using APIs and telemetry. 3. Demonstrate an LLM-Powered Assistant for Data Operations • Present “Data Buddy,” an agent that interprets technical issues, retrieves data, and responds in natural language. • Highlight its ability to explain diagnostics, suggest actions, and support both technical and non-technical users.
