Presentations

This talk will discuss requirements and design considerations for building a scalable and highly-available observability collection service leveraging OpenTelemetry. Design considerations for service scalability, reliability, performance; telemetry metrics, traces, logs, events support, deployment options will be covered.

Chaos Engineering concepts discuss the principles of experimenting on a distributed system to build confidence in the system’s capability to withstand turbulent conditions in production. Or, how stable is your distributed system? Let's see how we combine these two worlds to build more stability and reliability into our dataops.



We explore the security model exposed by Rook with Ceph, the leading software-defined storage platform of the Open Source world. Digging increasingly deeper in the stack, we examine hardening options for Ceph storage appropriate for a variety of threat profiles.

The best way for developers to solve the world’s problems is through an open ecosystem that supports their needs. Open innovation, open platforms and horizontal competition offer choice and build trust. An open ecosystem helps lower complexity and improve productivity, portability, and performance so developers can focus on creating innovative solutions. What challenges could you face to build a business case for consuming and contributing to open source? How do you build that culture.

What is creativity at a time when superfluous content is being constantly generated at unprecedented speed? Do productivity and scaling always lead to positive outcomes? How can we prevent problems rather than creating and then solving them? In this keynote, the speaker will share her experience exploring various industries, from physics to fashion and art, and propose alternative applications of technologies.

We're honored to have Ken Thompson joining us for our closing keynote at SCALE 20x. Ken Co-created Unix, UTF-8, Go and a number of other technologies that are foundational to our community.

It's easier than to develop open source projects in a rich world of packages, modules, and tools. But this isn't always great. Maintainers are challenged with making their projects easy for them to manage while also ensuring that folks have all the necessary tools needed for developers of a wide range of skill levels.
Devcontainers are a great way to take your development environment and make it replicatable for contributors but locally and via the web. This talk looks at how to develop devcontainers of varying complexities so contributors have everything they need to submit that next PR.

When the LA County Board of Supervisors passed the countywide cultural policy, they mandated that all departments provide services and allocate resources to ensure that every resident of the county can “participate fully and equitably in cultural life through the arts.” The next step was to discover how and where all departments - not just arts-related departments - were already investing in the arts. This presentation will explain how dataset were collected, analyzed, & presented, focusing on lessons learned for developing cross-departmental open datasets.

If Ms. Frizzle could take the audience on a Magic Schoolbus guided tour of the source code and APIs that power much of the US public healthcare system, it might look something like this ;)
The speaker will provide a unique historical overview of CMS.gov Open APIs, frameworks, policies, and design systems, while detailing ways for users to access and share their healthcare data and collaborate with the CMS.gov developer community.


As we have simplified technology, we have abstracted away details. As time has passed, the bulk of the interaction has moved to the simplified interactions. They became the preference due to speed, efficiency, and economics. Yet much is still constrained in the lower layers. We need the context to make informed decisions. We'll talk about the trend, and what to be mindful of as we continue to simplify technology.
