Next-Gen Dev Experience with Autonomous Cloud Operations
AI is writing your team's code 10× faster. But is your code review, security scan, and cloud ops keeping up?
That's the AI paradox most engineering orgs are quietly living through in 2026, and what we're getting together to unpack.
Join us for an invite-only evening in HCMC. Two keynotes, hands-on with GitLab + CloudThinker stack, casual dinner, and honest conversations with people solving the same problems you are.
🗓 Thursday, 14 May 2026 · 18:00 – 21:00 📍 The CirCo Platform · 222 Dien Bien Phu, HCMC
⚠️ Bring your laptop. The hands-on lab is the core of the evening, you'll be building something real, not watching a demo.
WHAT TO EXPECT
🎙 Two keynotes, zero sales pitches
Autonomous Cloud Operations. Unified. — CloudThinker on what we actually see when teams run agentic workflows in production
Future of AI-Powered DevSecOps — GitLab APAC on how AI agents are reshaping the software delivery lifecycle
💻 Hands-on lab
Part 1: AI-Powered Code Review & DevSecOps Pipeline with GitLab Duo
Part 2: Automated Root Cause Analysis with CloudThinker
Pre-provisioned sandbox, one laptop per participant
🍕 Dinner & real conversations Pizza, drinks, industry-clustered seating. Plus a 20-min sharing from ITviec on Vietnam's cloud & AI talent market.
WHO SHOULD COME
Engineering Managers, Tech Leads, Heads of Engineering, CTOs, and Platform/DevOps leaders. Anyone making or influencing engineering decisions around AI adoption.
The room is intentionally curated, and RSVP is reviewed to keep the conversation senior and focused.
WHY THESE THREE
🚀 CloudThinker brings the implementation lens. We help engineering teams across Vietnam and APAC deploy autonomous cloud operations in production. Not theory, not slideware. What breaks, what works, what it costs.
🦊 GitLab brings the platform lens. As the company behind one of the world's most-used DevSecOps platforms (and the newly-GA Duo Agent Platform), GitLab is shaping how AI agents integrate into the software delivery lifecycle at scale.
💼 ITviec brings the people lens. With the deepest visibility into Vietnam's tech talent market, ITviec shares what engineering leaders need to know about hiring, skills, and team composition in the AI era.
Platform + Implementation + People. The three things you actually need to think about when adopting agentic AI. That's why we're in the room together.
