What happens when Java meets AI in a Kubernetes-native world? This workshop introduces you to building high-performance, container-ready applications using Java and Langchain4j to integrate modern AI capabilities.
Explore how Java’s robust ecosystem is evolving to meet the demands of Kubernetes-native development. You’ll gain practical insights into designing, deploying, and scaling cloud-native Java applications while smoothly incorporating AI features like data enrichment and conversational interfaces into Kubernetes environments.
Through hands-on exercises and live coding, you’ll learn essential techniques for creating resilient and intelligent Java applications. We’ll demonstrate how to easily integrate AI with Java while maintaining its versatility in containerized ecosystems.
Join us to learn how to use the power of Java for Kubernetes-native development and take your applications to the next level with lightweight AI capabilities.
Key Takeaways
1 Master strategies for deploying, scaling, and maintaining Java applications in Kubernetes environments.
2 Discover tools and techniques for simplifying cloud-native development.
3 Hands-on implementation of AI integration in Java using Langchain4j.
4 Use AI to enrich application data for real-world use cases.

Principal Developer Advocate @IBM, Java Champion, Board Member @soujava, Published Author, 25+ Years in Software Development
I help senior developers, staff engineers, tech leads, and CTOs make faster, safer decisions in Java, AI, cloud, and architecture to advance their careers and products.
Since 1999, I have built and shipped solutions in legal, logistics, and finance. As a Java Champion (a recognition granted to ~400 professionals worldwide), I’ve been on the front lines of Java and cloud-native evolution.
I led and executed developer advocacy strategies at Oracle, Red Hat, and IBM, connecting global engineering teams with real-world developer needs. On stage, I’ve shared insights at JavaOne, Devnexus, The Developer’s Conference, JCON, and other events.
Today, my focus is:
- Turning complex backend and architecture topics into practical guidance
- Teaching how to leverage AI with Java to build scalable and highly available systems
- Mentoring senior professionals who want to reach staff, principal, or CTO levels
I also serve on the board of SouJava, one of the largest Java user groups worldwide, strengthening the community that shaped my own career.
If you need clarity on architecture trade-offs, Enterprise Java, or how to integrate AI above the hype, let’s connect.
