Building Production-Grade LLM Applications: From RAG to Observability
These two sessions offer practical expertise in building and deploying production-grade RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) AI applications. Attendees learn to create robust, context-aware AI systems, implement observability and scaling, integrate LLMs with SQL, and enable data democratization—bridging the gap from prototypes to enterprise-ready solutions for developers and data scientists.

Two focused sessions delivering real-world expertise for production-grade AI applications that solve actual business problems.
The Reality: RAG is everywhere in theory, but production deployment is where most projects stall. We'll bridge that gap with battle-tested approaches.
Session 1: RAG Mastery Unleashed (60 min) Build a complete RAG application from scratch using cutting-edge vector search and serverless LLM deployment. Watch as we transform a simple chatbot into an intelligent system that understands context, retrieves relevant information, and delivers human-like responses.
Session 2: Production Superpowers (60 min) The secret sauce of production RAG: bulletproof observability, automatic evaluation, and serverless scaling that handles anything you throw at it. We'll show you the monitoring dashboards that keep Fortune 500 companies running smoothly.
Key Takeaways
Target Audience Developers and data scientists moving from experimentation to production AI applications.
Come hungry for knowledge, leave with superpowers.
