I explained eBPF to my grandma!
Picture yourself in a cozy after-work evening spent with your Kubernetes-aware grandma. She asks you about your day, which you mostly spent working with eBPF. Can you describe it in gradma-friendly words?
Having done it well for Kubernetes already, Matteo and Jason know that their sweet spot is the kitchen lingo. They'll uncover the secrets of eBPF to their grandmas, presenting it as the secret ingredient for transforming tiny family-owned restaurants into Michelin-star kitchen brigades.
Leveraging their trademarked grandma benchmark, they'll employ simple food analogies to explain eBPF for those that never head of it. The session will cover the basics of the technology and the current state of the art, how it enables real-time analysis of network packets, and how it's employed in large-scale cloud native projects. Parallels will be provided on how chefs orchestrate their kitchens to ensure all food is served with top-notch quality, with no client getting food poisoned (or hacked).

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under Platform Engineering
A 3-year long story about getting an enterprise from "zero to hero" from manually deploying monoliths, to CI/CD, microservices, Gitops and building an IDP in 2020, before DevEx was cool.
This talk is a behind-the-scenes of an adventurous journey within a medium-sized enterprise, navigating through challenges and obstacles of going Cloud Native with a blend of diplomacy, acknowledging the complexity of convincing management, developers and stakeholders while leveraging various open-source tools to get from on-premise all-manual development to cloud automation and beyond.
Lifting a monolith, re-architecting apps to microservices, deploying to K8s, implementing helm, then all the way to integrating different pipelines with ArgoCD, FluxCD and JenkinsX without forgetting observability.

ClickHouse walks into a Cloud...
This talk explores the deployment of ClickHouse, the open-source columnar database / OLAP DBMS, using cloud-native methodologies.
The session includes a fast demo showcasing how to deploy ClickHouse both locally with Docker-compose and in a Kubernetes cluster with or without an operator.
You will learn how easy it is to self-host ClickHouse in the Cloud then we are going to perform operations on the database such as creating tables, inserting data, and running aggregated queries.
By the end of the talk, you will gain practical knowledge on setting up and managing ClickHouse in both local and cloud environments, enabling the usage of thispowerful database in their cloud-native applications.

Plaform Engineering's Inferno
Imagine yourself as Dante, lost in a Deep Dark Forest.
You are not alone, I will be your Virgil, your guide through the Engineering Hell.
This Platform Engineering dream can, and will, be turned into a nightmare if tools and practices are adopted without a rationale and no focus on culture.
Following an oneiric path, inspired by the Divine Comedy, we will travel through each Hell ring, examining all the different ways to fall into the flame pit of Engineering Hell, all the demons you can encounter on the way to reach the peaks of your well deserved Platform Engineering Eden.

I explained Kubernetes to my grandma!
In this lighthearted and engaging lightning talk, I share my unconventional approach to demystifying Kubernetes by explaining it to my Italian grandma, using food analogies.
Picture a scene where I'm enjoying a big plate of spaghetti, and my dear grandma, totally unaware of the deep tech world I work in, curiously asks about my job (like she does every xmas).
Seizing the opportunity, I went deep into the rabbit hole of container orchestration, trying to make it relatable through her favorite topic—food!
Join me as I walk you through the entertaining narrative of equating Kubernetes to the art of serving homemade biscuits as they were apps.

Oops, I deployed too hard.
Sometimes you delete production, you drop tables, you change a conf and everything breaks but what if you upgraded the wrong environment, to the wrong version, of the wrong customer (that also happens to be the bigger your company has)?
And what if you did it right before going to a long lunch?
This is a tale of compliance, regulations, unauthorized deployments and ethical questions!
Solved more through diplomacy than with coding.
