Superplane & Elastic: AI Agents That Build & Ship Code

About this event

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: Thursday, September 17th from 6:00-9:00 PM

📍 Location: Elastic NYC Office
1250 Broadway, Floor 16, Training Room
New York, NY 10001

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

About SuperPlane
SuperPlane 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 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.
