The Future of Observability in an AI World

With 83% of developers using or planning to use AI to enhance their workflows, DevOps teams are facing an unprecedented challenge—how do we manage more code, more data, and more complexity without spiraling costs (again)?

We’re teaming up with the London Observability Engineering MeetUp during KubeCon London week for an evening of insights, real-world strategies, and discussions with industry experts as we tackle the next big shift in Observability and DevOps - speakers include:

• Fintan Ryan (Director of Market Insights at GitHub)
• Guy Fighel (Former SVP & GM of Data Platform Engineering & AI at New Relic)
• Further panel speakers to be announced

The discussion will be moderated by Sean Madigan (CEO of Kerno and Co-Founder of the London Observability Engineering Meetup), who will also provide a positioning talk to shape the panel discussion.

There will be flash talk presentations from three innovative companies:

Kerno is a simple way for developers and on-call teams to cut through production noise, quickly identify business-critical application issues and resolve them independently with minimal effort. Without any code changes, Kerno seamlessly integrates kernel telemetry, app logic, and business context into one lightweight yet powerful experience – Karim Traiaia (Co-Founder) and Sandra Tirado (Founding Head of UX).

Velocity is an AI-First Runtime Observability Platform that provides faster incident resolution with actionable, accurate insights. Velocity enriches other core systems, such as PagerDuty, OpsGenie, Slack, etc., without adding another dashboard to manage. On-callers can confidently jump into incidents with clear paths for investigation and fully digested context at hand - Tal Kain (CEO & Founder).

Smithy is a framework/SDK and an optional execution engine that allows practitioners to orchestrate any security tool and translate its information to the popular security results standard OCSF. Translating outputs to OCSF format is not an easy process as the standard can be loose in some parts - Diana Licheva (Founding Software Engineer)
