Software Factory with SuperPlane & Elastic - When Agents Build, Ship, & Fix Code

Tue, Sep 1, 5:00 PM

From Elastic London User Group

4.7

Software factories are here. AI agents write code, open PRs, run tests, deploy to production, and respond to incidents - all without waiting for a human to click a button. Join SuperPlane and Elastic for an evening where engineering leaders, platform teams, and SREs explore what it actually takes to run a software factory: how agents ship code, how Elastic monitors what happens in production, and how SuperPlane orchestrates the full loop from commit → deploy to incident to fix. SuperPlane is the agent orchestrator that turns your tools into a software factory. Elastic is the observability engine that tells you what's happening inside it. This is an unconference, you bring the topics, we bring the structure (and drinks). Come with opinions about how far you'd let agents go. 📅 **Date:** Tuesday, September 1st from 6:00-9:00 PM 📍 **Location:** Elastic London Office Davidson Building, 1st Floor, 5 Southampton St, London, WC2E 7HA **Some topics we would discuss:** * How much autonomy should agents have in production? * Building the feedback loop: deploy → observe → respond → learn * Agents that fix what agents broke - is that a loop or a spiral? * What does "human in the loop" actually mean when agents ship 10x faster? * Observability as the control plane for your software factory * From Kibana alert to automated rollback - what's your threshold? * The trust problem: when do you stop reviewing agent PRs? **Format:** * Topics proposed by attendees at the beginning * Sessions run in small groups (\~5-7 people) * 30 minutes of facilitated discussion per session * Open participation and movement between sessions encouraged 📝 **Schedule:** * 6:00 – 6:30 PM → Arrival, food & drinks, networking * 6:30 – 6:50 PM → Welcome + software factories w/ Elastic & Superplane * 6:50 – 7:00 PM → Topic proposals & voting * 7:00 – 7:30 PM → Session 1 * 7:30 – 7:40 PM → Short break * 7:40 – 8:10 PM → Session 2 * 8:10 – 8:20 PM → Short break * 8:20 – 8:50 PM → Session 3 * 8:50 – 9:00 PM → Wrap-up & key takeaways * 9:00 PM → Closing **About SuperPlane** **[SuperPlane](https://superplane.com/?utm_source=luma)** Software Factory platform that transforms software delivery from a collection of manual tasks into an orchestrated, AI-powered production system. It coordinates AI agents, developers, infrastructure, and operational tools to build, test, deploy, and maintain software with speed, consistency, and governance. **About Elastic** **[Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/?utm_source=luma)** is the observability stack behind high-velocity engineering teams. With Elasticsearch, Kibana, and the rest of Elastic Stack, engineers, SREs and platform engineers get real-time visibility into logs, metrics, traces, and security events correlated in one place, not scattered across tools. As release cadence increases with the adoption of software factories, Elastic keeps you in control of what's running and why.

He enjoys creating programs that mostly behave, as well as sharing this joy via open source & teaching. **🗣️ Dmytro Mitin: Can Scala 3 Have Macro Annotations Again? Rebuilding Macro Paradise** Scala 2's Macro Paradise allowed annotations to transform definitions and generate members, companions and other definitions before ordinary typechecking. Scala 3 has an experimental macro-annotation API, but newly generated definitions are visible only within the macro expansion. In this talk, we'll explore another approach: a pre-typer compiler plugin that brings back Paradise-style source transformation. We'll see where it fits into the Scala 3 compiler, how generated definitions become visible to ordinary typing, and how quasiquotes can make such transformations easier to write. ⭐ Dmytro Mitin ⭐ Dmytro Mitin is a Scala and Haskell developer and mathematician interested in functional programming, type systems, metaprogramming and compilers. He has taught Scala through online courses, answered extensively on Stack Overflow, and contributed to open-source projects including the Scala 3 compiler, Shapeless and ProvingGround. His current open-source work explores Scala 3 macro annotations, quasiquotes and semantic tooling. ———————————————————— 🗣️ Would you like to present, but are not sure how to start?
