Talks (Event language - ENGLISH):

Building AI powered applications with Java - Andres Almiray
In the world of AI, context is king—a phrase that has gained even more relevance with the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs). While LLMs are evolving rapidly, one major limitation is that externally trained models often lag in knowledge regarding recent events and specific business data. However, there are ways to enhance these models with additional context to deliver results that are custom-tailored to your specific needs.
In this session, we’ll explore how to achieve this by using a combination of well-known Java stacks and libraries, such as Spring AI and LangChain4j. You will learn how to integrate these tools into your Java applications to enrich LLM outputs with business-specific context, allowing you to build smarter and more relevant AI-powered applications.

Observing all the things: Apache Kafka® and Apache Flink® with OpenTelemetry - Harry Kimpel
Apache Kafka and Apache Flink are the backbone of many real-time data processing systems. But how do you ensure that your systems are not just running, but running optimally? Enter OpenTelemetry – your best friend in the quest for observability.
