Join us for Agentic + AI Observability meetup on Tuesday, November 17 from 5pm - 8pm PST at the Databricks Bellevue office, an evening deep dive into agentic web application development and the systems that power it. This meetup is built for software engineers, app builders, ML/AI developers, and AI startup founders who are building or deploying autonomous agents and want to go deeper into the tech. We'll dive into real-world patterns, failure modes, and architectural models for leveraging AI agents to build and ship full-stack web apps, architect the data and backend layers underneath them, and scale intelligent workflows in production. Whether you’re at an early-stage startup or an established enterprise, if you care about deploying agents in your organization’s workflows safely with clear controls and observability, this meetup is for you. Previous series speakers include Databricks, Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceXAI and more. Why you should attend Learn What Actually Works in Production: Hear real-world patterns, failure modes, and architectural models from teams using AI agents to build and ship full-stack web apps. See Agents Set Up the Backend: Watch live demos of agent-driven infrastructure, where prompts replace traditional configs for provisioning data and backend layers, and learn where human guardrails still matter. Ship Quality, Not Slop: Pick up practical strategies for generating production-quality apps instead of low-grade code, including how to keep agent-written code reviewable, tested, and maintainable. Build for Non-Developers, Too: Explore how teams are democratizing app development so non-coders can ship real apps, without giving up clear controls and observability. Connect with Other Builders: Meet software engineers, ML/AI developers, and startup founders deploying autonomous agents, swap lessons learned, and find potential collaborators. All in a pitch-free, technical setting.
