​Title: Shifting observability left: How to get Frontend Engineers to build monitoring checks
Person: Daniel Paulus
I am a big believer in synthetic monitoring as a concept to build reliable production services. If engineers are supposed to run what they build, they need monitoring tools that work for them. I have built my own custom solutions in the past using Jenkins or GH Actions and later used SaaS tools for this. I want to share my experience how I got frontend engineers to build monitoring and get everyone on an engineering team to care about production system reliability.

​Daniel Paulus about himself:
Daniel Paulus is an accomplished technology leader, presently leading as the VP of Engineering at Checkly, building synthetic monitoring with Playwright.

​Title: Introduction to the CD Foundation
Person: Yair Etziony
In this talk, I’ll briefly introduce the Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF), part of the Linux Foundation, which focuses on improving continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) practices. I’ll share a bit about CDF’s mission to support open-source projects like Jenkins and Tekton, which play a crucial role in software delivery. We’ll also touch on the Foundation's values, such as collaboration, open governance, and the belief that Continuous Delivery helps teams build better software faster.
Yair about himself:
Yair Etziony is an Engineering Manager at AMBOSS and a CD Foundation Ambassador. He has 30 years of experience in systems administration, DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), and cloud technologies. Throughout his career, Yair has worked on a variety of complex technical challenges and is passionate about supporting teams and promoting best practices in Continuous Delivery.

​Title: The irony of cloud cost-cutting: when saving money leads to losing money
Person: Timur Bublik
At TIER Mobility, we successfully reduced our cloud expenses by over 60% in less than two years. While this was a significant achievement, the journey wasn’t without its challenges. In this presentation, I’ll share insights into the potential pitfalls of cost reduction strategies that might end up being more expensive in the long run.

​Timur about himself:
I am a DevOps professional from Berlin with 7 years of experience in the field. My core expertises are Terraform and OpenTofu, AWS, Spacelift, Docker, Kubernetes and Kafka/Confluent Cloud. I am also an active speaker on various meet-ups, podcasts and conferences (HashiTalks, DevOpsDays), as well as co-organiser of meet-ups and conferences (Remote Python Pizza 2020).
