RocketRide Launch Night: The AIDE is Leaving the Launchpad @ Shack15
The AIDE is Leaving the Launchpad
One evening. A live product launch. Heavyweight voices from tech, including the RocketRide CEO and Microsoft Chief Data & AI Officer, on a sharp, no-holds-barred tech panel. All in a room with founders and enterprise builders who are done waiting for AI to work in production. If you're serious about where AI development is actually headed, this is the room to be in.
RocketRide is hosting launch night for the builders turning AI from demos into production systems. The open-source project already helps developers build, compare, run, and manage AI pipelines where developers are inside the IDE or in the terminal. The new company launch brings that harness to teams that need to design, deploy, and scale AI solutions without drowning in infrastructure.
This is not a RocketRide-only product show. It's a high-energy evening for AI builders, enterprise AI teams, partners, and technical leaders who care about making AI work in real organizations.
The night blends three ideas:
🔧 The new AIDE — How AI-native development environments upgrade the classic IDE as the center of building, evaluating, and deploying AI workflows.
🤝 The partner launchpad — A showcase of partner solutions already integrated with or complementary to RocketRide open source.
🚀 The moonshot stage — A bigger vision for what AI builders can launch next, from serious enterprise workflows to frontier demos.
What to expect:
• RocketRide company launch: the open-source momentum and the managed cloud path
• Partner demos: short, sharp showcases from teams building real products aligned with RocketRide
• The moonshot: an AIDE live build that makes the room feel like something new is taking off
• A sharp panel discussion with AI founders and tech industry leaders
• An influencer/comedian keeping tempo between segments
• Dinner, drinks, builder networking, after-party
