Agents in Production at MongoDB

Agents in Production at MongoDB Beyond the prototype: build agents with memory, control, and visibility. What does it take to turn an AI agent demo into a system you can operate with confidence? Agentic AI is moving rapidly from experimentation to production. But building agents that can reliably operate in real-world environments requires more than models, prompts and tools. Teams need to think about persistent memory, state management, agent runtimes, deployment, observability, security and governance. Join London Agentic AI for a technical evening sponsored and hosted by MongoDB, exploring the engineering foundations of production-ready AI agents, with talks from MongoDB, Google ADK and Cognition. We'll explore the building blocks of production-minded agents, from experimentation and prototyping to deploying and operating reliable agent systems. Speakers & Talks 🎙️ Talk 1: MongoDB: Agents in Production Speaker: Adam Wong, Animesh Mishra Solutions Architect at MongoDB Title: Agents in Production: The Questions Your Demo SkippedAbstract: Building an agent demo is easy. Running it reliably in production… not so much. We’ll walk through the engineering questions that decide whether an agent ships: where memory and state live and how they survive between runs, whose credentials the agent is using and what it’s allowed to touch, how you contain what it can do, and how you trace what it did and why.We’ll then show how Atlas Agent Engine approaches each of these in a working system, so you can see the trade-offs for yourself🎙️ Talk 2: Google ADK Speaker: Daniela PetruzalekSenior Developer Relations Engineer @ Google 🎙️ Talk 3: TBC Speaker: Harrison Reevesgtm + eng @ at Cognition Talk: Your Agent Needs Its Own ComputerAbstract: The delta between a cloud agent (running in its own VM) and a local agent, highlighting benefits like running at unbounded scale and executing whenever engineering work is needed (e.g., when a production error occurs). Panel Discussion & Audience Q&A Agents in Production: Beyond the Prototype Following the three technical talks, we'll bring the speakers together for a 20-minute panel discussion and audience Q&A. We'll explore the engineering challenges of moving agents into production, including reliability, memory, orchestration, observability, security and operational control. Get your hard questions ready. What You'll Learn 🧠 How persistent memory and state fit into production agent architectures. ⚙️ The role of agent runtimes in building and operating agentic systems. Importance of Agent runtimes 🛠️ Key engineering considerations for reliable, production-ready agents. 🔍 How observability and visibility help engineers understand and debug agent behaviour. 🔐 Why security, governance and operational controls matter for production deployments. 🚀 How to approach the transition from agent prototypes to production systems. Why Attend? Building an agent prototype is only the beginning. Operating agents reliably in production introduces new challenges around architecture, infrastructure, execution, monitoring and control. This event brings together engineering perspectives on the technologies and practices needed to build and operate production-ready agents. Expect technical talks, practical insights, an engineering-focused panel discussion and the opportunity to connect with London's agentic AI community. Who Should Attend?
