Elastic Observability in London

The Elastic Developer Relations Team will be in town for DevOpsDays London 2025, and we will be hosting an Observability meetup before the conference!

Our incredible Lead Developer Advocate Carly Richmond will be the host of the night and we'll have presentations from Carly herself and Alam Ahmed (Cloud & DevOps Engineer), followed by networking, pizza, and refreshments.

📅Date and Time: Monday, September 15, from 5:30-8:30 PM

📍Location: Civo Tech Junction First Floor, 32-37 Cowper St London EC2A 4AW, United Kingdom

📝 Agenda:

5:30 pm: Doors open, grab a drink, say "Hi"
6:00 pm: Talk # 1 - Web UI Instrumentation with OpenTelemetry and Elastic Carly Richmond - Lead Developer Advocate at Elastic Abstract: Is you thought OTel was just for backend services and Kubernetes pods, think again. Join Carly as she walks through the state of Client Instrumentation for OpenTelemetry, how to propagate UI and backend signals, and how to find bottlenecks using Elastic.
6:40 pm: Talk #2 Infrastructure as Code for Elastic Deployment with Terraform Alam Ahmed - Cloud & DevOps Engineer Abstract: In this talk, we'll explore how Terraform can be used to automate and manage Elastic Cloud and self-managed Elastic Stack deployments with infrastructure-as-code (IaC). Whether you're running Elasticsearch clusters in the cloud or on-premises, Terraform provides a **consistent, version-controlled, and repeatable way to deploy, scale, and manage your Elastic infrastructure. We'll cover: ✅ **Key Terraform providers for Elastic** (Elastic Cloud & Elastic Stack) ✅ **Automating multi-cloud Elastic deployments** (AWS, Azure) ✅ **Cross-Cluster Search (CCS) & Cross-Cluster Replication (CCR) via Terraform** ✅ **Managing Elasticsearch configurations, index templates, and pipelines** ✅ **Best practices for CI/CD integration & team collaboration** ✅ **Real-world use cases & lessons learned.
7:20-8:30 pm: Pizza and Networking
