Using CNCF Projects for Adding Music and Announcements to My Home Elevator

Erwin's house has an elevator, you might think it's an apartment, but no, it's a family home with an elevator. Since moving in Erwin has wanted to upgrade the elevator experience. In this talk Erwin explains how he used open source projects like NATS, Grafana, Prometheus, AlertManager and protocol buffers to track elevator performance and add awesome elevator music and floor announcements to an otherwise mundane elevator ride. Erwin will show how he made the system resilient and performant and show some epic dashboards with insights into the elevator performance. This talk will not feature a live demo, Erwin thought about bringing the elevator with him, but it was not accepted by his family.
