The Infra Collective: Agentic AI, Data Platforms & CloudOps at Scale

Join us for a curated, high-signal meetup for engineers, architects, and platform teams building and operating modern infrastructure in production.
As systems evolve to support agentic AI and autonomous workloads, data platforms and CloudOps are becoming critical to building scalable, reliable systems. This meetup brings together practitioners focused on what actually works in the real world.
Expect deep, practical discussions on architectures, operational challenges, and lessons from running systems at scale.

Agenda:
10:00 AM - 10:30 AM
Registration Starts

10:30 AM - 11: 00 AM
Title: Agentic Engineering for Developers by (Pavan Belagatti, Port.io)
Description: The talk is all about Agentic Engineering, the new way of doing software development and delivery at scale using AI Agents and workflows, the complete Agentic way. At the end, you will also see a simple demo/tutorial of Agentic Engineering.

11:00 AM - 11: 30 AM
Title: SQL Meets Vectors: Querying LanceDB with Presto by (Pratyaksh Sharma, IBM)
Description: AI applications generate a new kind of data embeddings, vectors, and high-performance columnar formats like Lance. But how do you analyze this data using familiar tools? This talk introduces the Presto - LanceDB connector and demonstrates: Querying vector-backed datasets using SQL Combining structured + AI data in one query engine Practical use cases for analytics, search, and ML pipelines Includes a live demo to show everything in action.

11:30 AM - 12: 00 PM - Break

12:00 PM - 12: 30 PM
Title: Beyond Observability: Closing the Loop by (Aryan Mehrotra, ZopDev)
Description:

12:30 PM - 1: 00 PM
Title: Faster. Cheaper. Somehow More Expensive by (Mayank Raj, Stripe)
Description: Cloud infrastructure keeps getting faster and cheaper, yet our bills somehow keep going up. This talk explores Jevons paradox through the lens of AI workloads, CloudOps, and hyperscale platforms, where every efficiency gain unlocks even more consumption. A practical look at the hidden feedback loops shaping modern infrastructure.

1:00 PM - 1: 30 PM
Title: Enterprise Use Cases for Managing OpenTelemetry Collectors at Scale with OpAMP by (Bikram Debnath, IBM)
Description: This session explores real-world enterprise use cases for managing OpenTelemetry Collectors at scale using OpAMP (Open Agent Management Protocol) and the OpAMP Supervisor. The talk focuses on the operational and architectural challenges organizations face when running large collector fleets across hybrid environments.

1:30 PM Onwards
