Upcoming masterclasses featuring Nicolas Fränkel
Gain Practical, In-depth Experience with Observability using OpenTelemetry
This class focuses on practical application, offering clear explanations and a full-fledged working example, targeting IT professionals who want to implement or enhance distributed tracing, metrics, and logging in modern systems.
It starts with the fundamentals—explaining what observability means in practice and showing how traces, metrics, and logs help diagnose and understand system behavior.
This course then examines the OpenTelemetry architecture, covering SDKs, exporters, and the Collector, and explains how these components work together to collect and process telemetry data.
Participants will instrument a microservices-based application, capture telemetry, and send data to a Grafana stack (Tempo, Loki, and Mimir) running on Kubernetes. They will also use the OpenTelemetry Operator to deploy and configure observability components.

WebAssembly on Kubernetes
WebAssembly started as a technology tailored to web browsers and is becoming popular as a server-side technology as well. The next step is for Wasm to become a powerful tool for cloud-native applications. When combined with Kubernetes, WebAssembly can revolutionize application deployment, security, and resource efficiency in ways traditional containers cannot.
This talk explores why and how to leverage WebAssembly within Kubernetes environments to create scalable, high-performance, and secure applications.
