Speaker Spotlight: Cloud Native LATAM Summit

Cloud Native LATAM Summit is a free, three-day virtual conference bringing together cloud native leaders, engineers, and communities from across Latin America to share real-world experience, lessons learned, and innovations from the region to the world. Backed by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and organized by local community groups, the summit is designed to strengthen the regional ecosystem and accelerate the adoption of open, cloud native technologies.

Across three days of live talks, panels, and interactive sessions, you’ll dive into topics such as Kubernetes, DevOps and GitOps, observability, security, AI, architecture, cloud computing, DevSecOps, community building, and sustainability. Whether you’re running production workloads, modernizing legacy systems, or just starting your cloud native journey, you’ll find content tailored to practitioners and technical decision-makers alike.

Because the summit is 100% virtual and free to attend, it’s accessible to individuals and teams from all over Latin America and beyond. Join to learn from real customer stories, discover open source projects, connect with CNCF ambassadors and local organizers, and collaborate with peers who are building the next generation of cloud native solutions in the region.

Fluent Bit is a powerful and efficient telemetry agent, but relying on defaults without optimizing its configuration environment can lead to trouble with backpressure – caused by heavy loads, network congestion, or misconfigurations can degrade performance, lead to data loss, and destabilize systems. What many engineers don’t realize is how early backpressure issues can be detected and fixed before escalating into costly outages!

Backed by years of experience supporting Fluent Bit across enterprise environments, this session shares production-tested tactics ensuring pipeline performance at scale. We’ll break down the mechanics of Fluent Bit backpressure – what causes it and how to catch it early with detection, debugging, and dialing in config strategies. Attendees leave with playbooks for solving backpressure problems with Fluent Bit in your system.

An extra bonus, attendees are given a hands-on, self-paced, workshop to explore at https://o11y-workshops.gitlab.io/workshop-fluentbit.
