Engineering Production Systems for an Agentic Era: QCon San Francisco 2026
QCon San Francisco 2026 will bring together practitioners from Airbnb, OpenAI, Netflix, Honeycomb, and other engineering organizations to share how they are building, operating, and evolving production systems as AI agents take on a larger role. By Artenisa Chatziou
QCon San Francisco 2026 will explore the impact of AI agents on production systems, featuring insights from industry leaders such as Airbnb, OpenAI, Netflix, and Honeycomb. Panels will cover the delegation of decisions to agents, risk assessment, system exposure, and retaining human control. Sessions include "Engineering Production Systems for an Agentic Era" and "Orderly Keys, Wild Values: Adaptive Compression for Distributed Key-Value Storage," addressing the integration of AI agents into customer-facing workflows, software testing, and release processes.
Attendees will learn about preventive controls, offline testing, production response, and adaptive compression techniques to optimize distributed systems at scale. The conference also offers the InfoQ Certified Architect Program for hands-on learning and certification.
