October is celebrated as the spookiest month of the year with the "Spooky Stories" series, which shares tales and best practices from the Temporal community, partners, and Temporalites. Throughout the month, various contributors, including engineers and advocates, detail their experiences with challenges in technology such as the complexities of Apache Kafka workloads, web scraping at scale, and deployment issues. These narratives aim to provide insights into common issues and solutions, culminating in a final presentation on Halloween by Tihomir Surdilovic, focusing on troubleshooting and best practices in monitoring and metrics. The series encourages participation and offers a chance to learn from shared experiences in a creative and engaging way.
