Welcome + Opening Remarks
summary
Conference opens with logistics and sponsor shoutouts including Chronosphere, Dynatrace, ClickHouse, Honeycomb.io, OpenSearch, VictoriaMetrics and Grafana Labs, then pivots to hard realities: modern systems outstrip individual understanding with microservices, service meshes, GPU workloads and multi‑cluster requests; projects cited are Prometheus, Jaeger, OpenTelemetry, Cortex and Fluent as core building blocks; observability economics remain broken with customers spending six to nine digits and sometimes disabling tracing or cutting log retention; org stress is visible with teams of five supporting thousands; project updates follow.
