What we’re about
A community for DevOps, Platform, and Cloud engineers exploring automation, Infrastructure as Code, and AI-driven DevSecOps.
Hosted by the team at Gomboc.ai — we bring practitioners together to share stories, tools, and lessons from the field.
Expect hands-on workshops, small in-person meetups, and honest conversations about what’s working (and what isn’t) in modern cloud infrastructure.
Featured event

DevOps & Platform Engineering Meetup
AI-generated code is everywhere, but how well does it actually work? When it comes to Infrastructure as Code (IaC), most teams have learned the hard way that “AI in DevOps” can be more hype than help. Code generated by large language models is often non-deterministic, inconsistent, and impossible to debug.
This workshop event tackles that skepticism head-on with a transparent look at how deterministic AI changes the game.
You’ll see what happens when AI stops guessing and starts producing repeatable, policy-aligned fixes you can actually trust.
“You can’t debug a black box, but you can trust a deterministic one.”
We’ll go beyond theory with a live demonstration of explainable AI-generated pull requests for Terraform. We’ll also have a candid discussion about what it really takes for engineers to trust AI in their infrastructure.
Why join?
- See why traditional AI-generated code fails in real DevOps environments.
- Learn how deterministic AI produces explainable, reproducible Terraform fixes.
- Watch a live PR generation demo showing transparent, auditable code changes.
- Participate in an open group discussion: What would make you trust AI in infrastructure?
- Network with peers tackling the same challenges in IaC security and automation.
