I'll argue that the real product of CI/CD was never pipeline execution — it's the knowledge of how code becomes a running service, and no tool currently has that. ***Tracing the Agent: Observability, Evidence and Accountability in Agentic Systems* (Bukola Jimoh)** Tracing agentic systems for observability and all of the reasons why we should be doing so. 💡 **Why Join Us?** **Expert Speakers**: Real-world insights from industry professionals. **High-Level Networking:** Connect with the best tech community in the city. **Fuel Provided:** Pizza, drinks, and great vibes included. **All Are Welcome:** Our community is for everyone.
