Details
Join us for an evening exploring the open source data stack powering the OpenTelemetry Astronomy Shop the official OTel reference demo used by 30+ vendors as their observability showcase.
Please register here to secure your spot.
We'll walk through a real-world architecture where:
🐘 PostgreSQL stores your source of truth
⚡ Valkey caches the hot path for sub-millisecond response times
📡 OpenTelemetry instruments everything end-to-end
🔍 OpenSearch gives you unified traces, metrics, and logs in one place
Agenda
5:30 PM 🍕 Doors open - food, drinks & networking
6:00 PM Welcome & context setting
6:15 PM Valkey as a caching layer on PostgreSQL cache invalidation patterns, data consistency & performance benchmarks
6:45 PM OTel + OpenSearch full-stack observability with traces, metrics & logs in a unified view. The OTel Astronomy Shop end-to-end cache misses, cache hits, and traces flowing into OpenSearch
7:15 PM Q&A & open discussion
7:30 PM 🍻 Pizza, drinks & networking until 8 PM
Who should come?
Backend engineers evaluating Valkey as caching layers on PostgreSQL
Platform / infra engineers setting up observability pipelines or evaluating OpenSearch for log analytics
Open source contributors interested in Valkey, OpenSearch, or the OTel ecosystem
Engineering leaders navigating vendor vs. open source infrastructure decisions
What you'll walk away with
A clear understanding of how PostgreSQL, Valkey, and OpenSearch work together in production
Hands-on familiarity with the OpenTelemetry Demo and how to extend it
Practical caching and observability patterns you can apply immediately
Access to all demo code and configuration files
Info on how to contribute to both projects
🍕 Food and drinks provided.
💡 No prior OpenTelemetry experience required just bring your curiosity.
Two Linux Foundation projects. One stack. Zero lock-in. See you there! 🚀
