The New AI Developer Stack: From Prototype to Production

The modern software engineering stack is undergoing its most radical transformation in decades. As software shifts from static CRUD architectures toward autonomous, agentic systems, forward-deployed and product engineers face an entirely new set of technical hurdles: non-deterministic execution, complex tool calling, customer-isolated cloud runtimes, and replacing traditional unit testing with continuous evaluations. Join MobileMonday and the Applied Intelligence Forum for an evening of engineering-focused discussion with the founders and builders shaping this transition. We’ll cut through the generative AI hype to examine what is actually running in production across enterprise VPCs and client deployments today. Key Discussion Topics: Orchestration Beyond Single Prompts: Designing stateful, collaborative multi-agent architectures that balance deterministic software logic with autonomous execution. The New QA Layer: Replacing rigid test suites with graded evals, OpenTelemetry-based tracing, and drift detection for non-deterministic model outputs. Enterprise Tooling & Protocol Standards: Bridging agents to external enterprise APIs, managing OAuth/identity, and handling reliable execution across Model Context Protocol (MCP) gateways. Production Runtimes & Governance: Managing model routing, low-latency inference, Kubernetes-native deployments, and strict enterprise security controls in private clouds. Who Should Attend: Software engineers, forward-deployed engineers (FDEs), technical founders, and engineering leaders building, benchmarking, or shipping agentic systems into complex enterprise environments.
