Speaker Spotlight: Cloud Native London 2025

Welcome to the May Cloud Native London meetup. Join to hear from two fantastic speakers and network with your fellow techies over pizza and drinks, or alternatively chat and following along on Youtube.

It’s time you stopped letting your telemetry data pressure your budgets and get in the way of solving issues with agility! No more I say! Take back control of your telemetry data as we guide you through the open source project Fluent Bit. Learn how to manage your telemetry data from source to destination using the pipeline phases covering collection, parsing, aggregation, transformation, and forwarding from any source to any destination.

Buckle up for a fun ride as you learn by exploring how telemetry pipelines work, how to set up your first pipeline, and exploring several common use cases that Fluent Bit helps solve as you integrate with OpenTelemetry collectors in your organization.

All this backed by a self-paced, hands-on workshop that attendees can pursue at home after this session (https://o11y-workshops.gitlab.io/workshop-fluentbit).

Talk includes 15-20 mins of live demoing the following integration phases:

1. Collecting telemetry data with Fluent Bit, enriching and securing, then passing to output destination.
2. Exposing Fluent Bit collected data as metrics endpoint, collecting, and displaying with Prometheus.
3. Collecting telemetry data with Fluent Bit, putting into OpenTelemetry (OTLP) format, then passing to output destination.
4. Collecting telemetry data with Fluent Bit, putting into OpenTelemetry (OTLP) format, then passing to OpenTelemetry Collector.
5. Collecting telemetry data with Fluent Bit, putting into OpenTelemetry (OTLP) format, then passing to OpenTelemetry Collector, finally sending to storage for later usage.
