The conference arrives at a turning point for the five-year-old project, which has evolved from a niche fork into a core engine for global infrastructure. Attendees will examine the shift toward agentic AI and real-time observability, with technical deep dives provided by engineering teams from Apple, CERN, IBM, and LinkedIn. A central theme of the event is the integration of standardized telemetry frameworks, such as OpenTelemetry, into high-performance search environments.

Sessions will feature practical architectural case studies, including CERN’s management of a 1.4-petabyte log analytics cluster and Groupon’s strategies for lean-budget real-time analytics. With over 60 scheduled talks and hands-on developer workshops, the program aims to bridge the gap between theoretical open-source development and production-grade deployment. The event serves as a platform for the Linux Foundation-backed community to refine the standards that currently support over 2 billion software downloads worldwide.
