Cloud Native & AI Day: “Beyond ChatBots — Let’s talk about Agentic Stack."
Details
A focused event for Cloud Native enthusiasts who want to go beyond chatbots and understand how modern platforms are evolving to run Agentic AI workloads in production.
You’ll learn how teams are designing agentic stacks that can reason, plan, and act autonomously, while still meeting the operational demands of production environments.
### What this day covers
- Agentic systems: architecture, design principles, and scaling patterns
- vLLM internals: inference pipelines, performance characteristics, and optimization insights
- Efficient model serving: trade-offs across latency, cost, throughput, and reliability
- Production realities: observability, orchestration, fault tolerance, and cloud-native integration
This is a hands-on, no-hype exploration of how Cloud Native + Agentic AI comes together to build systems that actually work at scale.
