Why you don’ t need infrastructure for training models from scratch\, and how to start treating inference and fine-tuning just like serving standard web APIs.\n2 . Strategies for folding AI workloads and autonomous agents into your exis ting heterogeneous environments (VMs + containers + legacy databases) with out rebuilding everything.\n3. How to build an Agentic Development Platfor m (ADP) based on actionable reference architectures to deploy real-world A I applications.\n\nSpeaker: Kelsey Hightower\nRetired Distinguished Engine er\, Google Cloud.

The real complexity of an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) sits in the backen d layer beneath it. As autonomous AI agents begin using your platform\, tr aditional setups built only for human developers face immediate security g aps and operational bottlenecks. Join Sameera Jayasoma and Lakmal Warusawi thana\, maintainers of the CNCF OSS project OpenChoreo\, as they show how to build an agent-ready platform without a multi-year custom build.\n\nIn this session\, you will learn:\n- **Platform vs. portal:** Why a portal al one is not enough\, and how owning the backend execution layer speeds up s oftware delivery.\n- **Designing for AI agents:** How to give AI agents th eir own identities\, limited access\, and safety rules when interacting wi th your APIs\, shifting your engineering team from working _inside_ the lo op to _orchestrating_ it.\n- **Practical open source adoption:** How to us e a modular architecture like OpenChoreo to connect the Kubernetes\, CI/CD \, and monitoring tools you already run\, turning your existing tools into secure\, agent-ready golden paths\n\nSpeaker: Sameera Jayasoma\nVP and Di stinguished Engineer @ WSO2\, OpenChoreo Maintainer\n\nSpeaker: Lakmal War usawithana LAST-MODIFIED:20260901T124710Z URL:https://www.meetup.com/platform-engineers-dublin/events/316368340/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Platform Engineers Dublin END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:What 3+ years of platform data tells us about how to succeed DTSTART:20260924T170000Z DTEND:20260924T174500Z DTSTAMP:20260901T124710Z UID:event_316367165@meetup.com CATEGORIES:education,tech DESCRIPTION:Platform Engineers Dublin\nTechnology rarely decides whether a platform succeeds. New research from Octopus Deploy shows the difference comes down to how a platform gets rolled out\, whether there's a clear str ategy behind it\, and how involved leadership stays.\nJoin the Octopus Dep loy Developer Relations team as they unpack what The Future of Platform En gineering report found\, and what to do about it.\n\nWalk away knowing:\n- Why mandated\, organization-wide adoption is associated with markedly hig her performance than opt-in\, and how a platform is adopted matters more t han most teams expect.\n- Why building without a clear strategy is strongl y associated with hitting obstacles\, and where leadership engagement make s a difference for high performers\n- How platform maturity shapes whether AI investment actually pays off LAST-MODIFIED:20260901T124710Z URL:https://www.meetup.com/platform-engineers-dublin/events/316367165/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Platform Engineers Dublin END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Everything you need to know about managing AI spend in 2026 DTSTART:20261001T170000Z DTEND:20261001T174500Z DTSTAMP:20260814T153129Z UID:event_316083127@meetup.com CATEGORIES:education,tech DESCRIPTION:Platform Engineers Dublin\nProsperOps surveyed 100+ platform e ngineers on managing AI cloud costs. Learn insights from our survey result s. Together with our partner\, Pay-i\, we show you a practical framework f or measuring AI ROI\, avoiding bill shock\, and building cost guardrails t hat scale with agentic workloads.\n\nEvery platform team is now tasked wit h funding and managing AI initiatives\, but few have a clear read on resul ts. We surveyed 100+ platform engineers on how they prioritize\, measure\, and manage cloud costs as AI reshapes their role. This session pairs thos e results with a practical look at how leading teams measure AI ROI\, cove ring where you should spend your time\, how much influence FinOps and the C-suite have over cost strategy\, and how to apply unit economics to answe r: was the AI investment worth it? You'll leave with best practices for av oiding AI bill shock and building ROI metrics for agentic workloads.\n\nSp eaker: Josh Glover\nFinOps SME @ ProsperOps\n\nSpeaker: David Tepper\nCEO and Co-founder @ Pay-i\n\nSpeaker: Grace Gui LAST-MODIFIED:20260814T153129Z URL:https://www.meetup.com/platform-engineers-dublin/events/316083127/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Platform Engineers Dublin END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Platform Engineering in the age of AI: How to scale visibility wit hout losing c… DTSTART:20261006T170000Z DTEND:20261006T174500Z DTSTAMP:20260904T184620Z UID:event_316419283@meetup.com CATEGORIES:tech DESCRIPTION:Platform Engineers Dublin\nAI-driven and agentic SRE workloads are creating more telemetry than ever. Learn how modern Platform Engineer ing teams can centralize telemetry collection\, routing\, governance\, and access to reduce toil\, control costs\, improve visibility\, and give SRE and developer teams faster access to the context they need for search and AI-driven investigations.\n\nJoin us for a practical session on how moder n Platform Engineering teams are building scalable telemetry strategies fo r the AI era. Learn how to centralize control over telemetry collection\, routing\, governance\, and access to support AI and agentic SRE workflows\ , reduce blind spots\, and improve efficiency.\nYou’ll learn how to:\n- Scale visibility as AI-driven and agentic SRE telemetry grows\n- Reduce to il with a more centralized\, flexible telemetry model\n- Give developers f lexible telemetry access\, from search to AI-driven investigations\, while balancing cost\, governance\, and autonomy LAST-MODIFIED:20260904T184620Z URL:https://www.meetup.com/platform-engineers-dublin/events/316419283/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Platform Engineers Dublin END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
