We are happy to introduce this month speakers:

- Sai Joshitha Kathari with her talk "Building Self-Healing Infrastructure: AI-Assisted Reliability Engineering for Modern Distributed Systems",

- Uday Shankar Bhowal with his talk "Innovation using Open AI solutions in Business Digital Technology for Healthcare technology". He will showcase a few automated solutions utilizing RAG and Supervised Learning to enhance and improve business performance utilized in healthcare settings for cost savings and efficiency improvements

Sai's talk "Building Self-Healing Infrastructure: AI-Assisted Reliability Engineering for Modern Distributed Systems" abstract:

Modern distributed systems generate massive amounts of operational data, but incident detection and troubleshooting often remain highly manual and reactive. This session explores how AI-assisted operational workflows can help engineering teams reduce alert fatigue, improve incident response, and build more resilient cloud-native systems.

The talk will cover practical approaches for combining observability signals, deployment context, and operational telemetry to improve incident detection and reliability workflows in Kubernetes and distributed infrastructure environments. Attendees will also learn how AI-assisted automation can support Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices without replacing human operational decision-making.

Open Q&A and community discussion to follow.

Local tech professionals get-together in person on a monthly basis, alternating local municipalities. All these smaller size meet ups culminate with the two-day professional developers conference, DevFest Troy on October 23-24th, 2026. We will provide more details about this event as we move forward.
We are looking forward to seeing you there.
