Reimagining Software Delivery:
The Future of GenAI and DevOps with
AWS and Buildkite
Join us for an exclusive fireside chat and happy hour where we delve into how software delivery is transforming to support // AI-assisted coding in the Generative AI era.
AI-assisted coding can enable faster, more efficient software development – allowing engineers to focus on innovation.
However, traditional software delivery systems can’t scale to support the additional load. Discover how leading companies are tackling this challenge and achieving breakthroughs in software delivery at scale.
This event will provide insights into emerging trends, real-world use cases, and practical strategies to harness the power of GenAI, ensuring your teams stay ahead in an evolving digital landscape.
