Running Production with Agents w/ Rootly AI, NVIDIA, Replit, & WorkOS
About this event
AI agents are writing code, investigating incidents, and changing how infrastructure teams work. For SREs, that brings new questions about reliability: when to trust an agent, how to catch its mistakes, and who owns the outcome.
Join leaders from Replit, NVIDIA, and WorkOS for a panel on how agents are changing the work of running production. We’ll explore practical experience, emerging approaches, and the engineering judgment that remains essential as teams delegate more work to AI.
What we’ll discuss:
Agents on-call: Using agents to triage alerts, gather context, and investigate incidents—and recognizing when an investigation is heading in the wrong direction.
Infrastructure at a new pace: Adapting testing, code review, and deployment processes as agents increase the volume of code teams produce.
Keeping humans accountable: Preserving architectural understanding and ownership when agents handle more of the implementation.
The changing SRE role: How agent-driven workflows affect hiring, learning, and the skills reliability teams need next.

Are We Running Too Many Agents?
Have you read ETOOMANYTHINGS? Run Fewer Agents, the recent blog post by exe co-founder Josh? Everyone seems to be building software factories these days. More agents, more tasks running in parallel, more dashboards to keep track of everything. But is more actually better? The post sparked a fun discussion online, and we thought it would be even more fun to continue the conversation in person. Speakers Josh Bleecher Snyder, co-founder of exe Josh Wills, engineering at DatologyAI Beyang Liu, amplifying human agency at Amp, prev. founder of Sourcegraph This will also be our first "official" exe.dev meetup, and we'd love to meet you all! We'll have a few short, actually technical talks followed by an open Q&A and discussion. Come share your thoughts and hang out with other developers thinking about these problems. Food and drinks sponsored by our friends at Sentry.

How to Get Customers to Actually Pay
Product-market fit with Rob Snyder 🍻 Rob Snyder spent two years struggling to find product-market fit. After a last-minute pivot, his startup went from $0 to $4M in annual recurring revenue in the next two years. If you’re doing demo after demo, following up endlessly and still struggling to close, how do you know whether to change your pitch, your product or who you’re selling to? Join Founders on Tap for a workshop with Rob Snyder, founder, product-market fit advisor and author of The Power of PULL. Using his push vs. pull framework, we’ll explore why some sales take constant convincing, how to find customers with a reason to buy now and how to build around what they’re already trying to accomplish. We’ll get into: Why someone can have a problem, like your solution and still never buy. How to spot real demand in customer conversations. What makes your product a priority instead of a “maybe later.” How to turn one customer’s success into something you can repeat. For founders looking for their first paying customers or wondering why every new sale still feels so hard. Bring your questions about your own startup for the Q&A, grab a drink and meet other founders figuring it out alongside you.
