The inaugural European InfoQ Dev Summit is set to take place in less than a month at the Hilton Munich Park Hotel. Following the successful format of the recent InfoQ Dev Summit Boston, the two-day conference for senior software engineers, architects, and team leaders will be held in the Bavarian capital on September 26th and 27th.
Security standards and site reliability engineering will be two of the major themes at the conference, which coincides with the first week of the Oktoberfest festival. Mykhailo Brodskyi, principal software architect at PagoNxt, will discuss comprehensive approaches to software supply chain security:
Developing software in the highly regulated FinTech industry presents unique challenges due to the complexity and risks involved. Regulatory frameworks significantly impact architecture decisions, requiring attention to compliance and data security standards.
Kennedy Torkura, CTO and co-founder at Mitigant, will explain cloud attack emulation, a novel approach for continuously validating security posture by proactively testing the people, processes, and technology aspects of enterprise security strategies:
With cloud security mechanisms increasingly overwhelmed by the fast-evolving cyberattacks, organizations must adopt practical cyber resilience to move from preventing attacks to quick detection, response, and recovery.
Join us in Munich to learn how cloud configuration visibility can enhance an organization’s security posture. Danielle Sudai, security operations lead at Deliveroo, will explore the often-overlooked complexities of cloud configurations. Sudai explains:
Companies are heavily invested in CSPM and CNAPP solutions, revealing misconfiguration in their cloud-based infrastructure. My session will explain how those are identified and what the profit is in understanding our organizational threats to fine-tune detection rules and selecting SaaS/cloud-native tooling.
Michael Friedrich from GitLab will lead a session on building efficient AI workflows, focusing on practical prompts and advanced practices with custom LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and AI agents.
Local speakers from Munich, including practitioners from Nvidia and Siemens, will deliver various talks. In the two keynotes, Teena Idnani and Nischal HP will respectively delve into the dawn of quantum computing and AI in the age of climate change. Nischal HP explains:
I will be taking us on a journey to understanding climate change, what are the main contributors to it, focusing on agriculture and AI, and how this holds the key to changing for human kind.
Thanks to over 20 technical talks from senior software practitioners, the first InfoQ Dev Summit in Munich will offer actionable insights and practical advice on today’s developer priorities. As the chair of the InfoQ Dev Summit, I look forward to meeting you and your fellow senior software practitioners in Munich next month!
