AI tools are spreading across the entire software development lifecycle - but are they actually making developers more productive, or just adding noise? In this panel from Context Conference, Najla Elmachtoub (Squadformers) moderates a sharp, no-fluff conversation with Nathen Harvey (Google, DORA program), Bill Harding (GitClear), and Jeremy Castile (GitKraken) on what's really working when it comes to AI and developer experience.

Kafka migrations get talked about like they're impossible. They aren't. They're a sequence of decisions, preparations, and good compromises - plus a working playbook. In this session, Dirk runs a real Confluent Cloud-to-Aiven migration live. Top to bottom: target Kafka cluster deployment, MirrorMaker 2 setup, replication flow and offset handling, and a staged cutover that keeps producer and consumer downtime to almost zero.

You've seen the updates about our new Shift-Based Schedules update. Join us Thursday to get a deeper look at how you can use the new features to create the schedules you need for your teams!

Will AI replace engineers? Hugo Charré from Cursor argues the opposite. In this clip from the upcoming summit, Hugo Charré (Cursor) explains why the number of engineers is going to grow as we scale agentic systems — and why AI raises the bar for who's on the team.

Thousands of configuration options. Optimisations everywhere. No clear way to track what's running where. Civo Platform Engineer M R Rishi breaks down why running AI on your own infrastructure is harder than it should be and how Konstruct changes that.

Kepler is GitKraken's agentic development environment: mission control for running parallel coding agents at scale. Running one agent is easy. Running five of them across three repos is where things break: scattered terminals, no shared view, no idea what's done or stuck. Kepler puts every agent session on one surface so you can plan work, write code, and review what ships without losing track of anything.

The Grafana AI team (Engineers Ivana Huckova and Sonia Aguilar) share what's new in AI Observability this week: a new way to instrument and visualize agent workflows, plus a neat trick for jumping straight from a metric spike to the exact conversation that caused it using Prometheus exemplars. In this episode: We're showing parts of our team meetings to build in public in some small way and give you a sneak preview of what's to come. But not all features we show may make it to production! You've been warned. :)

Tony Rossabi, aka the Godfather, has spent 30 years in this industry. Car washes to Telx to building data centers. He sat down with our CEO Michael Reid to break down what’s actually happening underneath the AI headlines, from where the real demand is coming from, to why a single megawatt of power is so hard to find, and how a team of eight is building 19 ten-megawatt facilities across two continents in 24 months.
