Ralph Meijer, VP of Technology at Netdata, joined a panel at AWS Cloud Days Athens 2023 on October 10. The session, “Running Managed Containers in AI-Powered Startups,” ran from 16:45 to 17:15 and focused on the operational side of containerized workloads in fast-moving companies.
The discussion covered what it actually takes to run containers in production when your team is small and your infrastructure is changing weekly. Observability came up repeatedly – specifically the gap between what managed container services give you out of the box and what you actually need to debug a problem at 2 AM. Ralph brought Netdata’s perspective: auto-detection of containers, per-second metrics without manual configuration, and the ability to monitor ephemeral workloads that spin up and disappear before traditional tools finish their first collection cycle.
AWS Cloud Days Athens drew cloud practitioners and AWS partners from across Greece. For Netdata, with roots in the Greek tech scene, it was a natural fit.
