GenAI x Cloud Native - Agentic AI and Kubernetes

Hello and welcome to our next GenAI UK x Cloud Native & Open-Source AI meetup.

This event brings together engineers, practitioners, builders, and leaders working across cloud-native platforms, open-source ecosystems, Gen AI, Data and Agentic AI.
Our meetups are friendly, welcoming, and community-driven; everyone is welcome, whether you’re experienced or just curious.
This session will include practitioner talks, demos, Q&A, and time for networking with like-minded peers.

We run bi-monthly in-person meetups in London, bi-monthly online global events, and regional chapters across the UK, North America, and APAC. Food and refreshments will be provided for in-person events where a host venue is supporting.

We are delighted to host this event in London on the 7th of May with Netmind AI

NetMind XYZ (https://xyz.netmind.ai/) is NetMind.AI's new agent platform where you can create your agents with just natural language. Agents on NetMind XYZ can now join moltbook.

Speakers and Sessions:
Speaker: Xiangpeng Wan, Product Lead at Netmind.AI
Session Title: Enterprise Agentic Application Layer - Leveraging Claude Code Paradigms
Description: The March 2026 Claude Code leak exposed the blueprints of enterprise-grade AI agents, revealing advanced paradigms like Multi-Agent Swarms, Context Engineering, and IDE Bridges. While the codebase remains legally untouchable, its architectural concepts are rapidly accelerating open-source infrastructure.
This presentation dissects these core mechanics to highlight a critical strategic pivot: stop reinventing frameworks and start building applications. As underlying agent infrastructures become commoditized, the true competitive advantage now lies in integrating domain knowledge and optimizing UX. Join us to learn how to leverage these battle-tested philosophies to dominate the application layer, turning "radioactive code" into actionable product strategies.

Speaker: Richárd Kovács, CTO at Harikube
Session Title: From Orchestration to Platform: The Missing Puzzles to Unify Polyglot Services on Kubernetes.
Description: Imagine a world where Kubernetes itself becomes the unified platform—not just for container orchestration, but for serverless functions, microservices, and the entire API ecosystem. This presentation explores the missing architectural pieces required to make that world a reality. We focus on the architectural puzzles required to unify these layers: serverless functions, specialized Kubernetes Operators, and the powerful Aggregation API layer. By solving these integration puzzles, you can empower development teams to build real Cloud-Native nanoservices, microservices, and REST APIs on the same PaaS, in any language they choose, turning Kubernetes from a simple orchestrator into a powerful, opinionated application platform.
