The Observability at Scale Roundtable
Join Us for an Exclusive Executive Dinner & Discussion
The Cost of Fragmented Observability: What Engineering Leaders Are Doing About It
The Ortus Club, together with Grafana Labs, warmly invites senior engineering leaders in Bangalore to an intimate roundtable dinner at KoKo on Thursday, 13th August. Over great food and good company, you'll join a small group of peers for an off-the-record conversation about one of the most pressing challenges facing scaling engineering organisations today. Expect candid exchange, practical insight, and the kind of relaxed, meaningful dialogue that only happens around a dinner table.
The Cost of Fragmented Observability: What Engineering Leaders Are Doing About It
As engineering organisations scale AI-driven services, observability stacks are fragmenting: multiple tools, disconnected data sources, and duplicated spend across teams. This doesn't just inflate costs — it slows incident response and makes governance harder to enforce. Data residency and compliance requirements further constrain which tools are even viable, while product teams ship faster than SRE and platform teams can maintain visibility.
This fragmentation compounds as systems grow more complex, leaving teams with overlapping dashboards and inconsistent alerting. Regulatory constraints often dictate which architectures are viable before cost or performance even enter the conversation. Leading organisations are responding by consolidating tooling, establishing clearer cost governance, and building observability that's compliant by design.
Done well, this turns observability from a sprawling liability into a governed, scalable capability that supports both compliance and speed. This dinner brings engineering leaders together to compare approaches and share what's actually working.
How are you governing observability costs as your AI-driven services continue to scale?
What does your team's incident response look like when data residency and compliance constrain your tooling choices?
How do SRE and platform teams maintain control and visibility as product teams ship faster?
The Evening

Who Should Be in the Room
This evening is designed for leaders interested in scaling AI-driven engineering without losing governed visibility — those building cost accountability, compliance guardrails, and incident-readiness into their observability architecture rather than bolting them on later. Relevant job titles include senior engineering and platform leaders: CTOs, VPs, Directors, and Senior Managers of Engineering, SRE, DevOps, Platform, and Infrastructure.

The Host
Grafana Labs builds the open and composable observability platform that engineering teams rely on to unify metrics, logs, and traces across increasingly complex systems. With a focus on open standards and reducing tooling sprawl, Grafana helps organisations bring visibility, cost control, and governance together as they scale.
