From Cloud Native to AI Native. Catching the Next Wave of Innovation

From Cloud Native to AI Native: Catching the Next Wave of Innovation

The Cloud Native revolution reshaped how we built and shipped software — microservices, containers, DevOps.
Now a new shift is emerging: AI Native.

This event explores what it means to build platforms, systems, and teams for a world where AI is no longer a tool — it’s a core part of how we code, test, deploy, and operate.
We'll cover:

• Why AI-native systems behave differently than traditional software
• Real-world patterns like GitHub Copilot, AIOps, and early platform use cases
• How to spot early pitfalls — overhyped tooling, mismatched teams, poorly scoped infra
• What changes in architecture, platforms, and team design as AI matures
• Why starting small and designing with uncertainty in mind is critical

Speaker 1:
Pini Reznik (Co-founder & CEO, re:cinq)
O’Reilly author and long-time infrastructure strategist. His talk will bridge the last 10 years of Cloud Native evolution with the emerging AI Native frontier — with real stories and lessons from the field.

Speaker 2:
- Homero Valle (Co-Founder, Triskale)
Infrastructure expert and co-founder of an AI Native SaaS company. In his talk, "MCP: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," he will take a deep dive into the emerging Model Context Protocol— the new kid in town. He'll discuss what makes MCP exciting, what challenges might arise from using it, and why it matters for the future of sustainable technology.
