Observable Frontends
As an industry, we’ve made big strides in working within complexity in microservices: we build in observability with OpenTelemetry standards. But what about client-side? This is the most inscrutable part of our system, because it runs on anyone’s computer. The client has the most complex asynchronous activity, because it responds to user interactions. How does observability help there? Jess will talk about the current state of front-end observability on the web, and what we can hope for in the near future.

Jessica Kerr
Principal Developer Evangelist @honeycombio
Jessica Kerr (@jessitron on twitter) is fascinated by how software doesn’t get easier as she gets better at it: it gets harder, and also more valuable. Jessitron has developed software in Java, C, TypeScript, Clojure, Scala, and Ruby. She keynoted software conferences in Europe, the US, and Australia. She ran workshops on Systems Thinking (with Kent Beck) and Domain Driven Design (with Eric Evans). Now she works at Honeycomb, making complexity navigable with observability. Find her at jessitron.com, or systemsthinking.dev, or at home in St. Louis, MO.

Your Java Application Is Slow? Check Out These Open-Source Profilers
Tuesday Mar 28 / 04:10PM BST
Profilers help to analyze performance bottlenecks of your application - if you know which to use and how to work with them.
There are many open-source profilers, like async-profiler or JMC. This talk will give you insights into these tools, focusing on:

Celebrity Vulnerabilities: Effective Response to Critical Production Threats
Tuesday Mar 28 / 11:50AM BST
Log4Shell, Spring4Shell, are you tired of being told to drop everything and respond to the next critical vulnerability in an open-source package? Chances are, if you work in the engineering team of any software development organization, the answer is yes.

Deconstructing an Abstraction to Reconstruct an Outage
Tuesday Mar 28 / 10:35AM BST
Abstractions are what allow us to build the complex applications that we all use day-to-day. For example, it's rare for us to care about the precise details of on-disk storage when building an application — that's why databases exist!

No Instrumentation Observability With eBPF - Are We There Yet?
Tuesday Mar 28 / 05:25PM BST
Gaining interest for the past few years, eBPF promises zero-instrumentation observability with low performance overhead. Sounds like a dream, but are we there already?
