### 🎙️ Agenda
18:30 — Check-in & Networking
19:00 — Welcome & Intros
Talk 1 — Honey, the Audience Broke My App Running in EKS: Reproduce & Fix Live with mirrord 👨💻 🎤 Jake Page – DevRel Engineer @ mirrord
Ever pushed a "quick fix" to staging and prayed to the cloud gods? This talk is for you. Jake is handing every attendee a QR code — most will behave, a few will not — and together we'll crash a live Kubernetes app, trace the bug, and fix it without touching CI/CD. Real environment. Real tools. Real chaos (on purpose). An interactive debugging session you won't forget.
Talk 2 — Spec-Driven AI Development with Kiro 🎤 Luiz Otávio Rodrigues – Product Solutions Architect @ Kantar
What does it take to turn AI into a reliable software developer? This talk explores Spec-Driven AI Development with Kiro, showing how clear, structured specs enable agents to build code incrementally, and produce maintainable results—avoiding the chaos of prompt-based development and bringing AI closer to real engineering practices.
Talk 3 — Shift AI: Real-World Patterns for AI-Augmented Incident Response
🎤 João Aires – Site Reliability Engineer at [Mercedes-Benz.io](http://mercedes-benz.io/)
What does it take for an AI agent to investigate a production incident like an SRE? This talk looks at how harness engineering can turn agents into effective production investigators, helping teams triage faster, correlate signals across complex systems, reducing time to root cause from tens of minutes to just a few.
20:30+ — Catering, drinks & community networking 🍕🍺
