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: Henry, AI Agent Engineer at NetMind.AI
Session Title: From Agentic Workflows to Bio-Image Insights: A Cell Migration Case Study
Description: As AI infrastructure becomes commoditized, the next wave of value will be captured at the application layer, where automation, domain knowledge, and user-centered design turn AI capability into measurable outcomes.

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.
