Cloud Native London June 2025: Flagsmith and Doubleword
Two speakers from Flagsmith and Doubleword joined us at the June Cloud Native London meetup at the Esynergy Technology offices, as well as via the YouTube/Twitch livestreams.
We are immensely grateful to Flagsmith for their generous support and sponsorship.
Overview
Kicking off our evening was Adrian Gregpry and Matt Elwell from Flagsmith discussing Building a Healthy Platform Engineering Stack with Open-Source Feature Flags(starting at 9:51). He explained that:
- Open-source feature flags and observability can work together to give flexibility and visibility into the SDLC and let teams improve builds and monitor results
- Open standards in feature flagging are massively on the rise thanks to OpenFeature (akin to OpenTelemetry)
- Feature flags are deep in your code base, so limiting vendor lock-in is extra important
And wrapping up our evening was Peter Bhabra from Doubleword to tell us about The Missing Manual: Transforming AI Research into Resilient Distributed Systems(starting at 43:57). Unfortunately we had a technical issue with recording his audio. He talked about how:
- Successful AI deployment isn’t about having the best model.
- Distributed systems infrastructure is more important than model optimisation at enterprise scale.
- Self hosting will 200x in the next 3 years and inference will become an enterprise priority.
And of course, our usual group photo!
