OSMC 2025 | CAPACITY PLANNING WITH THE UNIVERSAL SCALABILITY LAW
At OSMC 2025, Daniel Mitterdorfer delivered a talk that hit a sore spot for many engineers, SREs, and architects in the room: Capacity Planning with the Universal Scalability Law. The session tackled one of the most uncomfortable (and common) questions in infrastructure engineering: “We expect 50% more users next quarter. How many more servers do we need?” Instead of relying on gut feelings or optimistic vendor promises, Daniel introduced us to a mathematical model that turns "guessing" into...
OSMC 2025 | SUSTAINABILITY MONITORING IN DIGITALLY SOVEREIGN CLOUDS
Sustainability monitoring in cloud computing is becoming increasingly important, especially as cloud infrastructures grow in size and complexity. At OSMC 2025, Josephine Kipke presented a practical and well-grounded talk on how environmental impacts can be measured in digitally sovereign cloud environments. Based on her work at the Open Source Business Alliance and the EcoDigit research project, she showed how sustainability metrics can be integrated into real production systems without losing...
OSMC 2025 | onotify: A scalable, flexible Alertmanager
Are we overcomplicating alerting? And why does a system designed to notify us when things go wrong so often become part of the problem itself? These questions immediately came to mind when I saw Colin Douch's Talk on the OSMC 2025 program. With experience as former Tech Lead of the Observability team at Cloudflare how is now at DuckDuckGo, he brought firsthand insight into the challenges of modern alert management. Colin introduced Onotify, an alternative to Prometheus Alertmanager. As someone...
OSMC 2025: From Zero to Developer
From Hype to Reality How many of you actually have OpenTelemetry in production right now? When Diana Todea asked this during her session at OSMC 2025, the lack of hands in the room proved her point. There is still a huge gap between the popularity of a project and its actual implementation. As a Developer Experience Engineer, Diana didn't just talk about the tech. She shared her "serendipity journey" that led her from building the first OTel exams to founding the Romanian localization group....
OSMC 2025 | The Sixth Sense: Finding “Dead” Metrics and Silent Alerts in Your Monitoring
Are you paying for metrics you never actually use? And how many of your alerting rules are silently broken? These questions caught my attention when I saw Roman Khavronenko's talk in the OSMC 2025 program. As someone who's been working with monitoring systems, I was eager to learn how to make monitoring more efficient and cost-effective. Introducing the Speaker and the Topic At OSMC 2025, Roman Khavronenko from VictoriaMetrics presented his talk focused on a critical but often overlooked...

OSMC 2024 | The story of firefighting: learnings from the incident management by Daniil Doronkin
The structured, high-stakes world of firefighting intrigued me the moment I saw Daniil Doronkin’s talk in the OSMC 2024 program. As someone who’s been involved in incident management on-call rotations and postmortem reviews, I was curious how the world of emergency response could inform how we handle IT incidents. Doronkin’s talk offered more than just an interesting metaphor - it provided a practical framework that I’ve since reflected on deeply. Introducing the Speaker and the Topic At OSMC...
Foreman Birthday Event and VoxConf on July 17th 2025
This year, it was again my task to organize the Birthday Event for the Foreman Project. A tradition we started with the 7th Birthday in 2016! The event evolved and changed over the years with ATIX helping us by sharing responsibility, it survived a pandemic, and this year it seems to come back stronger than ever. So one big change you can already see in the headline. While I started planning the VoxPupuli community reached out to me asking about the option of co-locating another event and...
