Conference Talk
Kubernetes Community Days New York 2026 – Panel: Telemetry That Matters
June 10 @ 11:20 am – 11:50 am Convene One Liberty Plaza, The Forum, New York, USA
We’re excited to share that Joshua Lee, our Open Source Advocate, will be joining the stage at Kubernetes Community Days New York 2026! He’ll be part of a panel discussion on Telemetry That Matters, alongside Carol Valencia (Cloud Architect at KrolCloud and Open-Source Contributor) and Diana Todea (Developer Experience Engineer at VictoriaMetrics).
This panel brings together practitioners across open standards, developer experience, and real-world reliability engineering. The discussion will examine how zero-code instrumentation affects workflows and system understanding, how meaningful telemetry improves day-to-day engineering work, and why unfiltered or unstructured data often has the opposite effect. The conversation will cover practical lessons for filtering, dropping, reducing, and shaping telemetry.
