Cloud Native Hyderabad August Meetup
Welcome to another exciting edition of the Cloud Native Hyderabad Meetup!
This August, we are thrilled to collaborate with Freshworks to bring you a deeply technical, action-packed session focusing exclusively on AI and Cloud-Native Observability.
AI workloads have moved into the cluster, and the old observability playbook doesn't fully cover them anymore. Tokens flow where requests used to, inference happens at the edge instead of behind a clean API boundary, and the sidecar pattern that solved yesterday's problems is now being questioned for tomorrow's.
This month's meetup we will look at how observability practices are adapting to AI workloads in the cloud native stack. From running inference closer to the workload, to rethinking sidecars with eBPF, to tracing requests all the way down to the token, the session covers how teams are gaining visibility into systems that look and behave differently from the services observability tooling was originally built for. Expect practical patterns, real trade-offs, and open questions from practitioners building and operating these systems in production.
