Meetup #4: Monitoring — Prometheus & Lightning talks (JVM)
January 17, 2018 (Thursday) @ MetaForma Cafe
Talk #1: “Monitoring with Prometheus at Devskiller” by Łukasz Szczęsny
Abstract
During the presentation I will talk about Prometheus — an open-source monitoring and alerting system. I’ll show how to use it and I will compare it with different monitoring solutions. In addition I will share my highly opinionated thoughts on being on-call and monitoring in general :)

Lightning Talk #1: “Simple Scala build chain for AWS Lambda” by Pawel Dolega
Abstract
Learn how you can leverage typical Scala build chain (Sbt) to work with serverless applications on AWS Lambda.
Bio
Software engineer / manager / entrepreneur. Worked in international corporations and small local software houses (two of which I co-founded). These days my weapon of choice is mostly Lightbend stack (Scala / Akka / Play / Spark) though I am trying to remain flexible and not be too orthodox.
Far more important than actual technology — I am really passionate about technological challenges and problems that technology is trying to solve. I like to work on things that matter.
Last but not least, infrequent conference speaker.
Lightning Talk #2: “Stepping up your cloud game: cloud native with JVM” by Łukasz Biały
Abstract
A live-coding, praise be to the demo gods, journey through optimization of JVM runtimes for containers and cloud environments. Flags, hacks, tricks and more will be explored to see just how close can a java or scala app get to the leader of the cloud world — Go language.
