SUMMARY:AI as a Modernization Partner\, Not a Silver Bullet
DESCRIPTION:Details\nEvery enterprise has legacy systems that “just work” until they don’t. While AI promises to magically modernize decades-old codebases into cloud-native architectures\, the reality isn’t that cut and dry. \nJoin us as we cut through the hype to show how AI\, combined with the right platforms and cloud infrastructure\, delivers real value in modernization efforts. We’ll explore how AI excels at the grunt work developers hate: code archaeology\, pattern recognition\, and mechanical transformations. You’ll discover why single-model approaches fail and learn practical multi-model strategies that work for you. \nWe’ll cover technical details using Google Cloud and Vertex AI for enterprise-grade model hosting\, whether as a SaaS service or on-premises through Google Distributed Cloud Air-Gapped for organizations with strict data sovereignty requirements. We’ll also show how platforms like Coder can leverage GC infrastructure to provide secure development environments. Additionally\, we’ll share approaches for building stakeholder trust\, and explain why humans remain irreplaceable in the process. Most importantly\, you’ll learn how to build human-AI partnerships that deliver real value. \nWhether you’re dealing with COBOL monoliths or planning your modernization strategy\, this event will give you what you need to leverage AI as a powerful tool in your modernization efforts. \nWhat You’ll Learn \nHow to apply AI to automate code archaeology\, pattern recognition\, and mechanical transformations in legacy systems\nPractical strategies for enterprise-grade AI model hosting using Google Cloud\, Vertex AI\, and Google Distributed Cloud Air-Gapped\nHow to build secure\, scalable human-AI development workflows with platforms like Coder — and why humans remain essential to success\nAgenda\n🕠 5:30 PM – Doors Open/Meet & Greet\n🕡 6:30 PM – 7:30 Presentation\n🕢 7:30 PM – 8:00 PM – Networking\n🍕 Food & Drinks will be provided \nWe recommend using rideshare or public transit to get to the office.\nPlease bring a valid I.D. to check into the event.\nOnce you enter the building\, head to the elevators and you’ll be escorted to the meetup check-in on the 29th floor.
