Spring AI: Build a Production-Ready AI Service in 2 Hours (Hands-On)
Details
Every company wants AI. Almost nobody wants to rebuild their backend to get it. ☕
That's exactly what we'll tackle at my hands-on Spring AI workshop with the Boston Java Meetup Group.
In two hours, we'll go from an empty Spring Boot project to a production-shaped enterprise AI service — and you'll build it live on your own laptop. No slides-only lecture. Real code, real checkpoints, real "it works!" moments.
What we'll build together:
🔹 Your first ChatClient — AI as just another Spring bean
🔹 Prompt templates + structured output (typed objects, not string-wrangling)
🔹 Streaming responses & conversation memory
🔹 RAG with PostgreSQL + pgvector — answers grounded in your data
🔹 Production hardening: retries, circuit breakers, rate limiting, caching & observability
👩💻 For all level Java developers. Bring a laptop, clone the repo, and code along — you'll leave with a working project on GitHub.
Spring AI removes the plumbing so you can spend your time on the parts that actually create value. Come find out how simple enterprise AI has quietly become.
