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...
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...
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...
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....
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...
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...
When Numbers Tell Tales: A Personal Take on Dave McAllister's Talk Have you ever read a headline claiming that "90% of users prefer this tool" and thought, “Wait, who are these users?” That’s exactly the kind of question Dave McAllister wants you to ask. At OSMC 2024, Dave—Senior Open Source Technologist at NGINX—took the stage with a presentation that felt more like a wake-up call than a lecture: "The Subtle Art of Misleading with Statistics." As a trainee in IT Specialist for Data and...
The combination of private cloud and open-source technologies caught my attention in the OSMC 2024 program, as I’ve recently been deeply engaged in working with a monitoring solution. After completing my Icinga Fundamentals Training and a hands-on project where I set up Icinga monitoring for my Nextcloud server, I was eager to dive deeper into the topic. However, I wasn’t sure what exactly was meant by “private cloud” in this context, so this talk provided valuable new insights for me....

After yesterday's workshops and welcome dinner the conference started with the typical welcome by our Bernd introducing the many new attendees to the event and remembering those recurring perhaps now for the 18th time of important things like wearing the batch and the evening event. The welcome included also a short introduction by Jochen from Search Guard as our gold sponsor. The Morning After the welcome I joined the first talk "Cypress, Playwright or Selenium: choosing the right testing...
