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

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.

Kirill Boiarkin: Soft Skills in the age of AI

For our early September meetup we are pleased to welcome to the LSCC community, Senior Software Developer and Agile Coach Kirill Boiarkin who will share his ideas and talk to us about: **Soft Skills in the age of AI** Soft Skills aren't a very popular subject in the IT universe, and with the rise of AI they are being neglected even more. They are often overlooked during computer science education - thus being an important lesson that many of us never had. But the focus on mastering tools without developing the skills to use those tools effectively within a team often leads to missed opportunities for career growth, project failures, and avoidable mistakes. This talk highlights why Soft Skills are needed for IT-professionals, especially now, when AI gets more and more powerful. It explores what limitations does the AI have in the context of Soft Skills, and offers plenty of practical tips for Soft Skills to improve your day-to-day teamwork. The talk goes beyond generic suggestions - in the relaxed and entertaining manner Kirill will present interesting perspectives based not only on his own experience, but also on many books, articles, conference talks and observations that he had over two decades of dealing with software and people. Everybody, from junior to senior developer, devops, QA, PO, manager will find some useful and possibly even eye-opening ideas in this talk. Agenda: 6:00-6:30pm - arrival, drinks, pizza and networking 6:30-6:45pm - introduction to the evening by Aman Panesar, LSCC Leader 6:45-7:30pm - talk by Kirill Boarkin 7:30-8pm - Wrap up, further discussions and networking **About Kirill:** Kirill Boiarkin is a Senior Software Developer, Agile Coach at Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH, based in Hamburg, Germany. Kirill holds a Master's degree in Computer Science and has 18 years of development experience across 6 different companies, working on outsource and in-house projects, startups and legacy systems, backend, frontend, desktop, and mobile apps. He has seen how teams are built and evolve, projects succeed and fail, team members and management make right and wrong decisions with the corresponding outcomes. Along the way, he took many notes on what worked and what didn't, and now it's time to share them. [LinkedIn ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirill-boiarkin-a9b44549/) \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- This is a great chance to get new perspectives, discuss ideas with your peers and make new connections! All levels welcome - no need to bring your laptop as this is a non hands-on session. **Food and Drinks** Pizza and drinks will be provided upon arrival sponsored by [Codurance](https://www.codurance.com/), the global software consultancy, with vegetarian and vegan options available.

In-Person Systemic & Family Constellation Evening Workshop

**Space is limited so book and pay early to avoid disappointment.** This evening workshop provides a perfect opportunity to experience the deep and insightful Systemic Constellations process in an intimate group setting. A unique and powerful therapeutic method for self-exploration, understanding core behaviours, removing blocks, and reintroducing movement and growth. It is used as a major resource in supporting healthy relationships, working through trauma, and assisting in depression treatment. **Issue Holder (client) and Representative spaces are available, please follow the link to book:** **For Representative (Participant) Booking £35** **[https://calendly.com/illiadato/in-person-family-constellations-evening-workshop](https://calendly.com/illiadato/in-person-family-constellations-evening-workshop)** **For Issue Holder (Client) Booking £175:** If you wish to attend as an Issue Holder at this workshop and have your own Constellation done please email your request to: [ih@londonconstellations.uk](http://ih@londonconstellations.uk/) Read comments of workshop participants here: [https://bit.ly/33Asprs](https://bit.ly/33Asprs) **WHAT ARE SYSTEMIC CONSTELLATIONS?** The Systemic Constellations method is a unique therapeutic process of exploration of the forces that move us in life. Such forces are often appearing as difficulties or a sense of being 'stuck' in life, affecting our behaviour, relationships, career, health/wellbeing, or even financial circumstances. This method provides a three-dimensional ‘map’ of one’s life as it is at present. It is a simple yet powerful way to explore entanglements and blockages in our personal life and our family history. The method brings awareness and clarity into personal challenges by focusing the client on the root cause of such difficulties. Constellations provide an opening for a positive life shift and present ways for deep healing processes to occur. **WHAT HAPPENS IN A CONSTELLATION SESSION?** In Constellations work the ‘client’ is referred to as the ‘Issue Holder’. The method uses workshop participants as ‘Representatives’ to stand in for key people in the client’s life such as family members, colleagues, partners, ex-partners, etc., sometimes ‘abstract’ concepts such as an emotion, country of origin, religion, or destiny are also represented. All participants are invited to take part as Representatives. Workshop participants often report (see reviews: [https://bit.ly/33Asprs](https://bit.ly/33Asprs)) experiencing profound insights into their own lives by simply witnessing the process, regardless of how they choose to take part. **WHY DOES THIS WORK?** Scientific research shows that the experiences of your ancestors can determine your behaviour today and affect future generations.\*\* Recent scientific research into DNA reveals that a component named epigenetics is embedding the effect of a traumatic experience by altering the genetic structure. It means that some of our behaviour patterns can be attributed to traumatic events in our family history. This notion has always been one of the guiding principles of Systemic / Constellations Therapy, a form of work that is dedicated to exposing and dealing with issues emerging from our family system. *“It is only now that science is catching up with what is evident in Systemic Constellations work and visible in every one of our therapy sessions; trauma in the family history directly affects future generations' behaviour"* Illi Adato MD Our group provides a safe space where deep personal work is done and where maintaining confidentiality and respect for each other's privacy is paramount. **\*\* DNA research paper and news articles:** Discover - Grandma's Experiences Leave a Mark on Your Genes [https://bit.ly/3dLwEkK](https://bit.ly/3dLwEkK) BBC News - "Memories" pass between generations [http://bbc.in/1dNShPe](http://bbc.in/1dNShPe) **Facilitated by Illi Adato** MA Lon\.

London Platform User Group (LOPUG), Wednesday 9th September, 6.30pm onwards

For our September meetup, we're back at the fabulous Accurx offices. We have two excellent talks lined up and the agenda will be: * 6:30pm - arrive, drinks, networking * 7:00pm - Welcome & Housekeeping * 7:15pm - **Talk 1: "Tales from Year 3: What We Should Teach the Agents"** Taking a platform that’s already running, with people, teams and purpose, and applying Team Topologies constructs to it, is a very different ask than starting from scratch. Over time, entropy kicks in, behavioural anti-patterns emerge, and external pressures have a knock-on impact. In this talk we’ll cover what a Team Topologies transformation by stealth turns into, and what it looks like over a longer period when developers, and even leaders come and go. The tech stack changed, the customers changed, and the sensing mechanisms to adapt struggled to keep pace. “Ecosystem blindness”, “Not built here syndrome” and “Operational Intent Debt” were some of the patterns that began to emerge. These “anti-design patterns” don’t just tell us what is likely to happen as your platform ages and scales. They give us a clear design brief for what we should ask of our agents. In the second half of the talk, we’ll look at how to use that brief practically, structuring agent tasks and behaviours so that the productivity sinkholes we saw in human teams don’t get amplified at scale. **Speaker: Maebh Booth, Senior Engineering Leader : Platforms, DevEx & AI** *Maebh has 20+ years leading engineering organisations across platform, product, and delivery and was most recently Engineering Director at Marks & Spencer (2,000+ engineers). Since 2025, she has worked independently with large organisations on engineering effectiveness, platform strategy, and AI adoption across the SDLC.* * 7.45pm - food, more drinks & networking * 8.00pm - **Talk 2: "Hard learnt lessons for 4 years of scale up life"** Living and working through a period of extremely rapid growth brings with it challenges where what you're done in the past doesn't work now. Lets talk about some of those situations and the hard learnt lessons that came up along the way. **Speaker: Oli Woods, DevOps @ Synthesia** *Oli Wood has been in tech since 1998, starting as a web developer. Today he does DevOps/Platform Engineering/SRE at Synthesia, a UK AI unicorn, where he was the company's first DevOps hire, four and a half years ago, seeing the company grow from 100 employees to close to 800. Before Synthesia, he worked everywhere from his own two-person startup to American giant SolarWinds, where he had the dubious honour of being involved in the investigation and clean up of the 2020 supply chain attack. Based in Gateshead, in North East England, outside of work you can find him swimming, shooting or pottering in the garden.* * 8.30pm onwards - drinks and networking. So, please come and join us, we look forward to seeing you there. The LOPUG team. * Food and drinks provided * Good time will be had by all
