Cloud Native meetup: Observability & Sustainability

The Cloud Native Foundation (CNCF) organized a meetup in Paris on October 10th, focusing on environmental sustainability in the cloud. The event was part of the CNCF's initiative called "Cloud Native Sustainability week." One of the key talks discussed Algolia's efforts to reduce its observability bill by optimizing APM traces and metrics usage, resulting in a 93% reduction in their monthly bill. Another talk highlighted Scaphandre, an open-source tool for gathering electrical consumption data from servers, and Energizta, a collaborative science project aimed at collecting accurate information about actual energy consumption and hardware activity. The meetup provided valuable insights into the importance of sustainability in cloud computing and fostered discussions among passionate developers.
