AI’s Secret Weapon: Turning Documents into Knowledge

 

Chatting with an AI is fun, but how can it help us increase efficiency? Everybody has faced the frustration of searching for specific information in a lengthy PDF without success. Enter Chat with Your Documents. But how does it actually work, and what are the different approaches? Which approach has its pros and cons? The final question is, do we now have the ultimate search engine? Join our event to get answers for all these questions.

Boost Your API Development Speed the Cloud-native Way

 

Talk with Mario-Leander Reimer

 

In the rapidly evolving landscape of API development, efficiency and reliability are paramount. In this talk we explore two hidden but powerful cloud-native solutions: Microcks and Kusk Gateway. Microcks automates API mocking and testing within a Kubernetes-native framework, enhancing integration processes for a different APIs, such as REST, gRPC and GraphQL. Kusk Gateway simplifies API management, promoting faster deployments with its declarative approach. We’ll demonstrate how these tools reduce development timelines, improve software delivery agility, and ensure robust, standard-compliant APIs.

Turbocharging AI Innovation: How AI Platforms Enable The Bulletproof Deployment of GenAI Use Cases

 

Talk by Mario-Leander Reimer, Managing Director & CTO and Sonja Wegner, Business Unit Director at QAware

 

Generative AI offers a wide range of applications in the business environment. However, challenges such as data protection and compliance often slow down the development and market launch of AI-based products. The involvement of various stakeholders further contributes to delays.

AI platforms come to the rescue! In this talk, we will explore what a corporate AI platform can look like and what components and services it requires.

We will discuss how a company-wide platform strategy not only simplifies technical implementation but also creates an ecosystem for innovation, fosters collaboration, increases reusability, and ultimately shortens time to market.

Quality in a Square. K8s-native Quality Assurance of Microservices with Testkube

 

Talk by Mario-Leander Reimer, Managing Director & CTO at QAware GmbH

 

Continuous delivery is everywhere. Really?! Many teams still struggle to deliver well-tested product increments on a regular basis, usually with the same old excuse: the (non)-functional tests are too complex and too expensive to implement thoroughly.

But the exact opposite is true! In this talk, we briefly review the importance of early and regular testing of cloud-native applications and explain why monolithic CI pipelines are a dead end. We then show how easy it is to run integration, performance, security, and acceptance tests continuously using Testkube directly on your Kubernetes cluster, fully integrated with a GitOps approach.

Securing the Future: Identity and Secrets in Cloud-Native Environments

 

In today’s evolving cloud landscape, security is more important than ever. This meetup brings together two essential topics for modern cloud infrastructures: workload identity and secrets management in Kubernetes. We’ll explore how the future of secure authentication is shaped by workload identity, ensuring only trusted applications can access sensitive resources. Additionally, you’ll learn practical techniques for managing secrets in Kubernetes, with real-world examples and insights into the latest tools. Join us to gain practical knowledge and stay ahead in cloud-native security.

 

TALKS:

 

Cloud-Native Secrets Management in Kubernetes – A practical guide in 3D, Tom Graupner (Co-Founder & Cloud-Native Specialist at Unit214 GmbH)

 

Workload Identity: the future of secure authentication, Christian Fritz (Software Architect, QAware)

Microservice Communication Demystified: From REST to gRPC and Beyond

Talk by Mario-Leander Reimer, Managing Director & CTO at QAware

In the complex world of microservices, effective communication and integration are crucial for the robustness and performance of the system. This talk delves into various synchronous protocols like REST, GraphQL, and gRPC, highlighting their strengths, weaknesses, and best use cases.

We will also address the inherent challenges and misconceptions of distributed data processing. Participants will learn about essential fault-tolerance patterns and techniques to help mitigate these issues.

Through practical demos in different programming languages, this talk aims to provide participants with actionable knowledge to design resilient microservice architectures that can withstand real-world demands.

 

Micro Frontends: From Theory to Practice – Strategies for Successful Implementation

Talk by Dominik Haas, Lead of Division & Lead Software Architect at QAware

Digital products are often developed as microservices, enabling scalable and independent development. Applying this approach to the frontend presents unique challenges. The visual presentation and execution within a client-server architecture make this endeavor complex, but not insurmountable.

Over the past few years, various patterns, techniques, and approaches have emerged and proven effective in allowing web frontends to be divided and developed by independent teams.

In my talk, I will explore the different implementation possibilities, the challenges that arise, and the solutions available. This will be supported by experiences from a large-scale project that has been implementing a digital product with micro frontends for the past six years.

Turbocharging AI Innovation: How AI Platforms Enable The Bulletproof Deployment of GenAI Use Cases

 

Talk by Mario-Leander Reimer, Managing Director & CTO at QAware

 

Generative AI is the talk of the town. Anyone who spends just five minutes thinking about AI can surely come up with several useful business use cases. However, all too often, we find ourselves facing the following dilemma: we want to quickly launch our chatbots and assistant systems and bring our ideas to market readiness. Yet at the same time, important, complex, cross-functional aspects such as data protection, compliance, operational readiness, or model fine-tuning often slow down rapid development and deployment.Furthermore, enterprise scale AI projects often involve many different stakeholders: data engineers, AI specialists, software engineers, operational experts, and business departments. Too much talking and no progress at all are the result.AI platforms to the rescue! We believe that established platform engineering approaches and technologies, combined with LLM Ops practices, can tackle this dilemma. Only a robust, scalable, and flexible platform enables our teams to efficiently develop, operate, and manage their data, models, and applications. The platform hides the inherent technical complexity, while allowing users to fully focus on the use case and the creation of value and innovation.We will explore what a corporate AI platform can look like and the components and services it requires. We discuss how a company-wide platform strategy not only simplifies technical implementation but also creates an ecosystem for innovation, fosters collaboration, increases reusability, and ultimately drastically shortens the time to market.
