Agents in Action: Building Autonomous Java Systems That Don’t Break in Production
Agent frameworks promise reasoning and autonomy, but enterprise environments demand more than impressive demos, they require reliability, observability, and control. This session dives into how to build and deploy autonomous agents in Java using open-source frameworks such as LangChain4j and Spring AI.
Through live coding and practical examples, attendees will learn proven agent patterns for task planning, tool orchestration, and error recovery, along with evaluation strategies and deployment blueprints for production systems. Drawing from real-world use cases, including DevOps automation and enterprise support bots, the session demonstrates how to move from prototype to production with confidence.
