About us

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.

We’re always looking for:
• Speakers — talks, lightning sessions, demos, case studies
• Hosts — venues, community-friendly spaces
• Sponsors — food, drinks, video, accessibility support
• Collaborators — open-source maintainers, meetups, networks

If you’d like to speak, sponsor, host, or get involved, please reach out via Meetup or Ethan Sumner on LinkedIn.

Community Values:
This group follows the Community Stack Code of Conduct.
We aim to create a respectful, inclusive, and welcoming environment for everyone — across all backgrounds, experience levels, and identities.
