Building generative AI applications requires a GenAIOps mindset that takes you on a journey from model selection to prompt ideation, prototype evaluation, and app deployment. In this talk, we’ll explore the GenAIOps journey from an AI Engineer perspective and identify productivity challenges, and the tooling solutions that can mitigate these issues and help streamline their developer experience.

Building enterprise-grade applications is challenging. So how can you learn to build one? Start by tearing one down!! Say hello to Contoso Real Estate - an open-source reference implementation featuring a composable architecture with micro-frontends and a cloud-native backend - that provides the perfect sandbox for hands-on exploration and learning.

In this talk, we'll take the implementation for a spin using GitHub Codespaces as our local development environment to explore the code, build & preview the application and deploy it to the cloud with one command. We'll dive under the hood to understand the project structure (monorepo), developer experience (tooling) and application insights (monitoring). Want to join me on the teardown adventure? Just bring your browser and a GitHub account!
