Abstract
The agentic AI landscape is facing an architectural crisis due to framework fragmentation, bottlenecking the creation of truly reliable autonomous systems.
This session pivots from individual agent design to the critical challenge of systems architecture and coordination, presenting the essential blueprint for a Global Agentic Control Plane. We will detail how this control plane enables disparate, multi-framework agents—operating across diverse networks, clouds, and regulatory regimes—to be dynamically orchestrated and reliably composed into collaborative teams.
The session will dive into the core engineering hurdles, including cross-framework durability protocols, state management in a distributed world, and providing the necessary compliance and audit trails, offering a vendor-neutral, blueprint-level look at the architecture required for enterprise-grade Agentic AI.

10:35 Pacific LM Sponsored The Future of Agentic AI: Architecting the Global Control Plane Tyler Jewell CEO & President @Akka and a four-time DevEx CEO The agentic AI landscape is facing an architectural crisis due to framework fragmentation, bottlenecking the creation of truly reliable autonomous systems. 11:45 Pacific LM Sponsored Shift Left with Observability and AI Driven Development Sean O'Dell Product Marketing Manager @Dynatrace Developers today are not just writing code, they’re orchestrating complex systems, managing pipelines, and maintaining reliability at scale. But when observability starts too late in the lifecycle, teams are left reacting instead of building. 13:35 Pacific LM Sponsored AI won't fix Developer Productivity (Unless you fix Context First) Dennis Pilarinos Founder and CEO @Unblocked AI coding tools promise productivity gains, but many teams aren’t seeing the impact. 14:45 Pacific LM Sponsored AI Native Architecture for Java Applications Pratik Patel Java Champion and lead developer advocate @Azul Systems We are currently moving from "AI-enabled" systems, where artificial intelligence is an additive feature, to "AI-native" systems, where intelligence is the foundational, architectural core. 15:55 Pacific LM Sponsored Building Zero-CVE Container Images at Scale: Patterns and Pitfalls Natalie Somersall Principal Solutions Engineer @Chainguard Every team wants secure container images, but few realize how complex it becomes at scale. 17:05 Pacific LM Sponsored Develop and Deploy a Trustworthy Multi-Agent System (Live Demo) Tyler Jewell CEO & President @Akka and a four-time DevEx CEO Agents are inherently unreliable. While simple to prototype, agentic systems with their many (distributed) moving parts are complex, have degrading trust, and are expensive due to inefficient model usage and ineffective scaling.
