AI Operations: Streamlining Daily Operations with AI and Automation
🌍 ABOUT THIS EVENT
Join GDG Berlin × ScalePartners × Turbine Kreuzberg × Grafana for an evening focused on AI Operations, automation, observability, and building reliable AI-powered applications.
As AI moves from experimentation into real-world production, developers and engineering teams are facing new challenges: How do we monitor AI-powered applications? How do we understand their performance? How can AI and automation streamline everyday engineering and operational workflows?
This meetup brings together developers, AI engineers, cloud engineers, and technology enthusiasts for practical technical talks and real-world insights.
Expect technical presentations, practical examples, AI/automation use cases, and plenty of opportunities to connect with the Berlin developer community.
Whether you're already building with AI or just exploring how AI is changing modern engineering, this event is for you.
