What we’re about
Cloud Native & Open-Source AI is a global, practitioner-led community exploring how open-source technologies, cloud-native platforms, and modern AI systems are built, scaled, and run in the real world.
We run:
• Bi-monthly in-person meetups in London
• Bi-monthly online events for our global audience
• Chapters across the UK, North America & APAC
Whether you’re hands-on in engineering, platform, data, AI, or just getting started, you’re very welcome here.
Our events focus on:
• Cloud-native platforms & Kubernetes
• Open-source AI, agents & developer tooling
• MLOps, LLMOps & real-world delivery
• DevEx, reliability, security & operations
• Emerging open-source ecosystems & standards
This community is part of the Community Stack Ecosystem — meaning members can also discover and join our wider communities across Data & AI, Cloud Platforms, DevOps, Leadership, and more. You can join other events here.
You’ll also be automatically subscribed to our weekly community newsletter via Meetup, where we share event updates, speaker call-outs, learning resources, and ecosystem news.
We also publish talks and highlights on our YouTube channel.
