After a sold-out debut in 2024, we’re returning to Manhattan on June 4, 2025, for another full day of cloud-native insights, technical talks, roundtable discussions, and community connection. Whether you’re a Kubernetes veteran or just getting started, KCD New York is your chance to learn from industry leaders, discover the latest in open source innovation, and connect with others who are shaping the future of infrastructure. Join developers, platform engineers, SREs, and cloud-native enthusiasts from across the New York region (and beyond!) as we come together in one of the world’s most iconic tech cities. Expect hands-on content, thoughtful conversations, and the same warm, welcoming vibe that made last year such a success.
Monitoring the behavior of a system is essential to ensuring its long-term effectiveness. However, managing an end-to-end observability stack can feel like stepping into quicksand. In this talk, we’ll explore how combining two worlds, developer platforms and observability, can help tackle the feeling of being off the beaten cloud native path. We’ll discuss how to build paved paths, ensuring that adopting new developer tooling feels as seamless as possible.
