OpenTelemetry (OTel) is an open-source, vendor-neutral project providing standardized metrics, traces, and logs for application and infrastructure observability. This session introduces OpenTelemetry's core concepts and demonstrates how it can be used to gain real-time visibility into infrastructure performance. Attendees will learn about integrating OTel with popular monitoring backends, setting up infrastructure instrumentation, and extracting actionable insights for performance optimization and troubleshooting.
Converge will present notable accomplishments of its current pool of interns. The interns were recently presented with an eclectic set of critical tasks and given strict deadlines. Come hear their approach to real-world problems , their solutions, and their outlook on the Z ecosystem.
There is an exciting new technology that has begun to emerge from the crypto world. Like the decentralization of currency, decentralization of data is now a reality with the use of blockchains, distributed apps (DAPPs) and Web3 infrastructure. This presentation will explore how this new technology functions, and how it can be harnessed to provide a wider range of solutions for mainframe customers. While Web3 is a completely new method of managing websites, tablets, and other mobile devices, the concept of moving data ownership into the hands of the end user is an extremely powerful one. DAPPs represent a revolution in software that is provided, and distributed, over the blockchain, and can be executed within servers, browsers, and many other handheld devices. When these programs are combined with access to a complete range of data sources, these modern solutions are dynamic.
