Presenters Agnes Crepet Gaël Duéz Source Green IO podcast Beyond the Hype: Unpacking Fairphone’s Real Impact on Tech Sustainability 🚀 We live in a world utterly dependent on our smartphones. Since 2017, there have been more mobile subscriptions globally than people on Earth! 📱🌍 A staggering 1.2 billion smartphones were shipped last year – that’s about 15% of the world’s population buying a new device. But here’s the kicker: manufacturing these pocket-sized powerhouses isn’t small potatoes when it comes to environmental impact. A 250g smartphone can have a “true weight” of up to 70 kilos when you consider all the resources, energy, and water that go into extracting minerals and manufacturing its components. While some manufacturers dabble in recycling, many cite complex supply chains as an excuse for limited impact and rarely champion the second-hand market. ...

Presenters Jorge Creixell Source PromCon EU 2025 🚀 Level Up Your Anomaly Detection: A Smarter Approach 🤖 Hey everyone! 👋 I’m Jorge, and I’m thrilled to dive into a new strategy for anomaly detection – one that’s designed to be more robust and, frankly, smarter. Let’s explore how we’re moving beyond simple threshold-based alerts to a system that truly understands the behavior of your data. 💡 🧱 The Core Idea: Bands Around Your Metrics The fundamental concept is simple: we create bands around your key metrics. Think of it like a safety net – we’re looking for deviations from the expected behavior. When a metric drifts outside these bands, we flag it as a potential anomaly. 🎯 ...

Presenters Célian Garcia Source PromCon EU 2025 Level Up Your MS Teams Monitoring with Custom Syntax Highlighting 🚀 Hey everyone! 👋 Let’s talk about making your daily workflow with MS Teams a little smoother – and a lot more visually appealing. I recently heard a fascinating story from a tech conference about a clever workaround for a common monitoring frustration, and I wanted to share it with you. The Problem: PromQL in Teams – A Color Nightmare 😫 We’ve all been there. You’re meticulously crafting a PromQL query to monitor your infrastructure, and you want to share it in MS Teams. But… it’s just a wall of plain text. 🤯 It’s hard to read, difficult to understand, and frankly, not the best way to communicate complex data. The speaker highlighted a significant pain point: sharing large PromQL queries without syntax highlighting is a real headache. It can lead to misinterpretations and wasted time. The speaker noted that Microsoft Teams currently doesn’t natively support Go language syntax highlighting, leading to a frustrating experience when dealing with complex queries. ...
