Presenters Bartek Protka Source PromCon EU 2025 🤖 The Trolley Problem of Metrics: Navigating Collection Resiliency 🚀 Hey everyone! 👋 Let’s talk about a surprisingly relevant thought experiment that’s impacting how we manage our data pipelines – the Trolley Problem. It might sound a bit heavy, but it perfectly illustrates a critical challenge in collection resiliency and how we’re tackling it. 🤯 The Trolley Problem in Data Collection The classic Trolley Problem asks: if you can divert a runaway trolley to save five people, but doing so will kill one, what do you do? In the world of data collection, we’re facing a similar dilemma. Imagine your data collection system – think Prometheus, OpenTelemetry collectors, or any other metric pipeline – is nearing its memory limit. You’re staring down a massive influx of data, potentially high-cardinality data (meaning lots of unique values), and you know that processing it could lead to a crash. ...

Presenters Steven Willmott Source apidays London 2025 🚀 Blending the New & the Established: Why Old Communication Standards Still Matter in the Age of LLMs 🌐 The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) has been nothing short of revolutionary. They’re reshaping how we interact with technology and fundamentally changing the landscape of API design. But in the rush to embrace the latest and greatest, are we throwing the baby out with the bathwater? This presentation argued that the principles and structures from older, more formalized communication standards – like FIPA – still hold significant value, and that the future likely involves a fascinating blend of both worlds. Let’s dive in! ...
