Don't miss out! Join us at the next Open Source Summit in Seoul, South Korea (November 4-5). Join us at the premier vendor-neutral open source conference, where developers and technologists come together to collaborate, share knowledge, and explore the latest innovations and advancements in open source technology. Learn more at https://events.linuxfoundation.org/ Mind the Gap - A Developer's Roadmap To Building AI Agents - Ivan Pedrazas, Docker Inc. This talk is about software developers' journey into AI Agent creation. We'll explore the evolving toolkit, from specialized IDEs like Cursor and VS Code (with AI Agents extensions) to frameworks like LangChain and LlamaIndex that simplify complex workflows. I'll share firsthand experiences comparing local development with models like Ollama, LM Studio and LLM Runner against production deployments using OpenAI and Anthropic APIs. We will explore how to consume MCP Servers to provide tools to our Agents. We'll address critical decision points: when to use RAG versus fine-tuning, how testing differs from traditional software, and the unique debugging challenges of non-deterministic systems. Finally, we will look at the challenges of deploying AI Agents in production and what we can do as developers to minimise the risk. Developers will leave with a clear understanding of the technical shifts required when building AI agents, available tools, and practical strategies for overcoming the most common obstacles in this rapidly evolving space.
