10X AI Engineering & Dark Factories
STEP INSIDE THE DARK FACTORY.
Autonomous engineering is already reshaping how R&D orgs ship. Spend an afternoon with Develeap, AWS, and the people building production-grade Dark Factories — live demos, real architectures, no slideware.
June 18th 2026 | 14:00 — 18:00
AWS 28th Floor, Sarona Tower
Speakers
Everyone's talking about AI engineering. We'll show you what it ships.
Dark Factories aren't a thesis — they're a build. Autonomous agents writing, testing, deploying, and operating production code while engineers focus on what only humans can do. This is the room where VPs of R&D, engineering leaders, and senior developers see what's already running in the field — and walk out with a clear read on where the industry is heading in the next 12 months.
Levels of Automation
A practical framework for engineering automation maturity. Where most orgs actually sit today, why most are stuck at Level 2 while competitors are operating at Level 4, and a live demo of moving between levels using AI agents.
Omri Spector · Founder, Develeap
Dark Titan,
a platform for dark factories
A deep dive into Dark Titan as Develeap's Dark Factory platform: architecture, autonomous agents, integrations, and live customer use-cases already running in production. What this concretely means for any org looking to move to autonomous engineering.
Kobi Avshalom · CTO, Develeap
Akamai's SRE Agent & Claude Code using MCP
How Akamai is building an SRE Agent in production — what it owns end-to-end, where humans stay in the loop, and the shifts required to move from 'DevOps with AI on the side' to true Agentic OPS. What works, what breaks, and what to plan for.
Tomer Patel · Senior Engineering Manager, Akamai
Agent and LLM observability in the agentic age
When AI agents hit production, standard monitoring isn't enough — your observability needs to evolve alongside your R&D. Discover how Elastic bridges the gap, helping you eliminate blind spots like unpredictable token usage, hidden costs, and agent downtime.
Ido Friedman · Principal Solutions Architect, Elastic

Before the Talks
Step inside the Dark Factory.
Dark Titan is Develeap's Dark Factory platform — autonomous agents running production engineering work for live customers, today.
The Showroom is where you can see the apps it already powers. Walk the floor before June 18 — and you'll know exactly what Kobi is showing on stage.

Turn AI hype into shipped systems.
Walk out with patterns your team can put to work on Monday — not slideware, not buzzwords. How real R&D orgs are moving from AI-assisted to AI-operated, and keeping production under control at scale.
-
Wire Gen AI into your engineering org — safely, and at the level of maturity that fits where you actually are.
-
See an autonomous engineering platform running in production — agents, architecture, integrations, real use cases.
-
Walk out with a clear read on the next 12 months — what every R&D leader should be doing now, not later.
