How engineering leaders are shaping production systems for an agentic future
The QCon San Francisco 2026 lineup reads like a blueprint for the next era of engineering. Airbnb, OpenAI, Netflix, and Honeycomb are sending practitioners, not visionaries, to share how they build production systems as AI agents take on more responsibility. This is not theory. It is the messy, practical work of evolving infrastructure under real load. For deeper context on the talent shifts shaping this world, see our coverage of how OpenAI parts with three researchers over data handling concerns.
From Ops Data to Action: How AI Makes Production Systems Understandable
Production systems have long been black boxes, spitting out data without context. This panel, featuring Michael Hausenblas, Sujana Sooreddy, Noam Levi, and Renato Losio, shows how AI changes that, turning operational data into actionable insights for incident response. It's a practical look at making systems more understandable through automation and new architectural practices.

Unlock AI’s Enterprise Potential: Navigating Adoption and Ethical Considerations
Enterprise AI is moving fast, and this conversation cuts through the noise. Meryem Arik, Clara Higuera Cabañes, and Jeff Smith tackle the rush toward adoption without losing sight of what matters: reliability and ethics. They frame this as an industrial moment, where the pressure to stay competitive can outpace careful implementation. It's a grounded look at how software engineering fits into this shift.
Design Your Spreadsheet to Evolve with Changing Conditions
Architecture is not a fixed choice made once; fitness is a moving target shaped by shifting regulations, technology, and markets. Even a sound design can silently stop fitting over time without any bad calls. This collection of seven articles treats architecture as an evolving sociotechnical craft, where teams deliberately shape friction and flow. It's a practical, human-centered lens on complexity.
