In-Person Meetup Nº 2: Platform Engineering and DevOps in the Age of AI

מה קורה תל אביב?

We are back for our second Pulumi User Group meetup in the vibrant city of Tel Aviv and we are more than excited to welcome the community again and build on the success of the first gathering.

This time, we are guests at Qodo.ai in Tel Aviv.

Our theme is all about Platform Engineering and DevOps in the times of Al. Expect practical demos, real-world patterns, and plenty of time to swap ideas with fellow engineers.

Agenda:
18:00: Doors open
Check in, grab a drink, say hi.
18:30: Welcome
Community updates and what is new in the Pulumi ecosystem.
18:40: Agentic AI in Action: How Pulumi Neo Transforms Infrastructure Management
Speaker: Engin Diri, Solutions Architect at Pulumi

Agentic AI is everywhere nowadays, and autonomous decision-making without constant human supervision is a game changer. Unlike traditional AI that just responds to prompts, Agent AI analyzes data independently, executes complex workflows, adapts to changing circumstances, and integrates with systems to manage entire processes.

In this talk, I'll show you how Pulumi harnesses these advantages in our new product, Pulumi Neo: your newest platform engineer buddy. You'll see how Neo can work on your infrastructure and take care of daunting tasks that used to consume your time. Additionally, I'll demonstrate how our Pulumi MCP server supports your daily work as a Developer, DevOps, or Platform Engineer.

About the speaker:
Engin is a Senior Solutions Architect at Pulumi with over 15 years of experience in the IT industry, including roles at the Schwarz Group and W&W Versicherungen.

19:10: Building a Product in a Crazy Al Market
Speaker: Hila Fox, Principal Engineer at Qodo

Remember the days when you could build products and tech that didn't change under your feet every 5 minutes? I do, it was nice, wasn't it? Well, in this talk, I explore the journey of "Agentifying" Qodo Gen, an agentic development tool, while navigating a market where new releases drop every night and your competitive advantage can evaporate in weeks. I'll share how we incorporated MCPs and LangGraph in our agent and prepare for the inevitable next shift because in Al, the only thing you can assume is that things will change soon.

About the speaker:
Hila Fox is a Principal Engineer at Qodo with over 10 years of experience as a technical leader across AI, distributed systems, and platform domains. She’s delivered numerous talks and workshops on architecture, DDD, and career growth, and thrives on building high-quality, scalable systems guided by data and strong team collaboration.
