Philipp lives to demo interesting technology. Having worked as a web, infrastructure, and database engineer for over ten years, Philipp is now a developer advocate and EMEA team lead at Elastic — the company behind the Elastic Stack consisting of Elasticsearch, Kibana, Beats, and Logstash. Based in Vienna, Austria, he is constantly traveling Europe and beyond to speak and discuss open source software, search, databases, infrastructure, and security — hopefully soon again 😷

Conference
Looking behind the immediate pain of Java's now infamous logging library Log4j:
* How does the vulnerability work?
* Why is it relatively complex to detect and evaluate both for custom and off the shelf software?
* How can you monitor exploitation attempts?
Stop both panic and long-term security issues — this is a "fun" one.
Did Anyone Say SemVer?
Quickie
Semantic Versioning seems to be THE solution every time you talk about releasing software. At least in theory. Because practice is often a lot more complex. Let's cover the basics and complexities in five minutes!
* What is and isn't covered by SemVer?
* What's the asymmetry in it?
* What does the versioning schema of popular products like Kubernetes, databases, or Java libraries actually look like?
Why is it always DNS, TLS, and bad configs?
Tools-in-Action

This talk dives into how well structured health checks can detect our common foes early on. Looking at the failure patterns you can detect some of the signs straight away.
