KubeCon + CloudNativeCon India 2026

In the fast-paced world of cloud-native infrastructure, monitoring Kubernetes Kafka clusters shouldn’t feel like a puzzle or a last-minute audit surprise. In financial organisations, Kafka on Kubernetes powers critical needs, from regulatory compliance to real-time client updates. But legacy monitoring couldn’t keep up, and relying on sleep-deprived SREs wasn’t an option. We overcame this challenge by building custom dashboards in a unified observability platform using OpenTelemetry for vendor-agnostic collection, deployed natively on Kubernetes, and integrating Grafana and OpenSearch for real-time visibility and faster troubleshooting.

Attendees will learn how to meet compliance needs, speed up incident response, and design reliable Kafka observability at enterprise scale and also walk away with a practical blueprint for modernizing monitoring and adopting open-source practices in Kubernetes.
