From Hallucinations To Hardware: Diagnosing LLM Failures 

Speaker: Ryan Peirce, Senior Sales Engineer

Date and Time: Mon, 23 March | 15.20 PM – 15.45 PM CET

Session details:

Generative AI apps can hallucinate—or fail—at the worst possible times. In this live demo session, we’ll interact with an LLM-powered application designed to surface both entertaining hallucinations and real-world GPU performance issues. Using open source tools like Prometheus, OTel, NVIDIA DCGM, and OpenInference, we’ll troubleshoot problems in real time and trace them from user experience down to infrastructure. See how observability gives engineers and SREs the visibility they need to keep AI systems reliable.

Fluent Bit V5: Pushing the Limits of Observability at Scale 

Speaker: Eduardo Silva, Engineering Manager

Date and Time: Wed, 25 March | 11.45 AM – 12.15 PM CET

Session details:

Come along and listen to the leaders of the CNCF’s Platform Engineering Technical Community Group give a quick update on what the community has been up to since KubeCon Atlanta, the initiatives underway and planned as well as what events they are running at KubeCon Amsterdam.

How Telemetry Data Moves: Lessons From Building a High-Performance Open Source Agent

Speaker: Eduardo Silva, Engineering Manager

Date and Time: Thur, 26 Mar | 14.30 PM – 15.00 PM CET

Session details:

Have you ever thought about how telemetry data really moves from the kernel to user space, across threads, buffers, and disks? This session goes beyond APIs and dashboards to explore the low-level mechanics of data processing at scale.

Drawing on experience developing Fluent Bit, we’ll examine how an open source agent processes billions of events per minute through custom user-space serialization, adaptive buffering, memory-mapped files, and multithreaded I/O orchestration. We’ll connect these design choices to Linux primitives like epoll, async I/O, and zero-copy strategies that keep CPU and memory footprints predictable.

This is not a product talk, it’s a deep exploration of data movement, buffering, and concurrency in modern telemetry systems, with insights valuable to anyone building high-throughput agents, collectors, or streaming engines.
