Als Principal Developer Relations Engineer bei New Relic hilft Harry Softwareentwickler:innen, DevOps, SREs und Operations-Profis dabei, proaktive und skalierbare Observability-Praktiken zu verstehen und mithilfe von Open-Source-Technologien und New Relic umzusetzen. Er ist außerdem ein leidenschaftlicher Softwaretüftler mit mehr als 28 Jahren Erfahrung in einem breiten Spektrum von Entwicklungstechnologien und -plattformen, wobei er sich hauptsächlich auf .NET/C#, den Microsoft Development Stack und cloudnative Softwarearchitekturen konzentriert. Weitere Schwerpunkte sind: Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS) und Google Cloud Platform (GCP) sowie Observability, Monitoring und Sicherung dieser Cloudumgebungen. Er verfügt über Fachkenntnisse in der Beschleunigung von Basisanwendungsarchitekturen mit einem modellgesteuerten Ansatz, Best Practices, Mustern und Codegenerierungstechniken. Derzeit befasst er sich mit Distributed Application Runtime (Dapr) und Anwendungsmodernisierung (Cloudmigrationen, Re-Architecting usw.).
Area of Expertise
Topics
Vulnerability Management (SCA) and Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) in Practice
New Relic Vulnerability Management helps you to overcome security blindspots in 3rd-party components or open source libraries. New Relic IAST accelerates your security testing in CI/CD pipelines by identifying exploitable vulnerabilities with proof of exposure, without code changes, while providing actionable steps to secure your custom code before it reaches production for more secure applications.
This hands-on workshop guides you through your first steps with New Relic Vulnerability Management and by leveraging APM agents, but also including data from AWS Security Hub. In addition, New Relic's latest announcement of New Relic Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) will also be introduced.
Using .NET Aspire eShop application to collect all the telemetry in an OpenTelemetry backend
.NET Aspire is the new kid on the block when it comes to an opinionated, cloud ready stack for building observable, production ready, distributed applications. Having a built-in dashboard for the monitoring data is nice during development. But how do you actually configure OpenTelemetry correctly to send into an observability backend? This is what this talk is all about. And, you'll also learn how to send custom attributes by leveraging OpenTelemetry SDKs.
How to instrument your application with OpenTelemetry to capture Traces, Metrics, and Logs
OpenTelemetry is a CNCF incubating project formed through a merger of the OpenTracing and OpenCensus projects. OpenTelemetry will soon be the de-facto industry standard for instrumenting your applications and services.
In this hand-on workshop, we will first of all explain what "instrumenting" an application actually means. This seems to be a buzzword and I will shed some light into this concept. We will then do the actual implementation live in the workshop in a step-by-step approach and visualize the results in the New Relic observability platform as our telemetry backend.
The workshop will focus on showcasing the implementation in a couple of different programming languages including Java, .NET and others. We will also explore the AWS managed Lambda layer for OpenTelemetry which provides a plug and play user experience by automatically instrumenting a Lambda function.
Dapr and .NET Aspire - Better Together?
In the dynamic world of microservices, achieving robust observability is paramount. Join us for an engaging session where we explore the synergy between Dapr and .NET Aspire, and how this powerful combination can elevate your observability game.
In this talk, we’ll cover:
• Unified Observability: Giving you real-time visibility into your distributed systems
• Metrics, Traces, and Logs: Capture and visualize critical metrics, distributed traces, and logs from your Dapr-powered .NET Aspire applications using New Relic’s observability platform
• Enhanced Diagnostics: Understand how Dapr’s sidecars and building blocks simplify the collection of observability data, making it easier to diagnose and resolve issues in complex microservices environments
• Actionable Insights: See how New Relic’s AI-driven insights and anomaly detection can help you proactively identify and address performance bottlenecks and failures in your .NET Aspire microservices
Building Scalable Microservices with .NET Aspire, Generative AI, and OpenTelemetry Insights
In an era where technology dictates the pace of innovation, it is imperative for developers to harness the power of modern frameworks and methodologies. This talk is designed to equip developers with the skills needed to build scalable and resilient microservices using .NET Aspire, while integrating generative AI capabilities to drive intelligent interactions.
Participants will learn how to use microservices with the latest .NET Aspire toolkit, ensuring scalability and robust performance across complex environments.
Furthermore, attendees will explore the essentials of observability with OpenTelemetry, utilizing real-time monitoring and tracing of the microservices itself, but also to ensure performance, quality, and cost control for your generative AI/LLM capabilities. This deep dive into observability empowers developers to optimize performance, swiftly identify and resolve issues, and maintain economic efficiency without compromising service quality.
Join me to transform your development approach, embrace AI innovations, and master the art of observability—an unmissable opportunity to accelerate your projects to the next frontier of technology.
AI Monitoring Mastery: Optimize Performance, Ensure Compliance, and Optimize Costs with New Relic
In this workshop, we will focus on leveraging New Relic's AI Monitoring to confidently build and run OpenAI applications with C# .NET. You'll learn how to achieve comprehensive observability across your stack to maintain peak performance, ensure compliance, promote quality, and reduce costs. Through hands-on demonstrations and practical exercises, you'll gain insights into best practices for monitoring and managing AI-driven systems, ensuring they are reliable, efficient, and compliant with industry standards. Join us to master the tools and techniques that will empower you to optimize your OpenAI applications and drive business success.
