5:45pm - Streamlining Telemetry Data: Building a Telemetry Pipeline to Handle High-Cardinality Metrics by Chelsea Wright @ Mezmo

Handling high-cardinality telemetry data efficiently is crucial for modern observability systems. In this session, we will explore strategies for designing a scalable telemetry pipeline that can process large volumes of diverse metrics without performance bottlenecks. We’ll cover best practices for data ingestion, storage optimization, and query performance, along with real-world techniques to mitigate challenges like high dimensionality and resource constraints. Attendees will gain insights into building a robust telemetry pipeline that balances accuracy, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

6:15pm - Developing Kubernetes Apps with Podman Desktop by Josh Berkus

These days we all spend a lot of time developing for Kubernetes. Wouldn't it be great if you could develop and test your containerized application from an easy-to-use desktop application, and not need to touch Kubernetes clusters until you're ready for staging? With Podman Desktop, you can!

In this mostly-demo presentation, we will go over the workflow of a containerized application developer working on a simple application (the open source project Elekto), making changes, running local tests, and finally deploying to a Kubernetes cluster. No previous knowledge of Kubernetes is required.

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

None of this would be possible without our amazing sponsors:

• Thanks to ProFocus for sponsoring the meetup space

• Thanks to Mezmo for sponsoring the food
