Amir Tayabali | Appvia | Prompt Driven Platforms | Cloud Native & Open Source AI Conference

Amir Tayabali, Tech Lead at Appvia, joined us at the Cloud Native & Open Source AI Conference in London to share a practical session on the future of self-service infrastructure. In this session, “Prompt Driven Platforms: The Future of Self-Service Infrastructure,” Amir explores how platform engineering is evolving as AI begins to reshape the way engineers interact with infrastructure, tooling, and internal developer platforms. As organisations look to improve developer experience, reduce operational friction, and make cloud native platforms easier to use, prompt-driven workflows offer a new way to think about self-service infrastructure. Instead of relying only on portals, documentation, templates, and tickets, teams can begin to explore more conversational and AI-assisted ways of interacting with platforms. This talk looks at what that shift could mean for platform teams, developers, and organisations building production-scale systems. Whether you are a platform engineer, DevOps practitioner, cloud native engineer, engineering leader, or someone exploring the future of AI-enabled developer experience, this session offers a practical look at how infrastructure platforms may evolve next. About the speaker Amir Tayabali is a Tech Lead at Appvia, working across platform engineering, cloud native infrastructure, and modern developer platforms. About the conference The Cloud Native & Open Source AI Conference is Community Stack’s London conference for engineers, architects, platform leaders, AI practitioners, and technology leaders working at the intersection of cloud native infrastructure, open source AI, and production-scale systems. Hosted with BrainStation in London as part of London Tech Week, the conference brought together practitioners building real systems across Kubernetes, open source LLMs, AI platforms, agentic workflows, developer experience, governance, security, and production operations. No vendor roadmaps. No theoretical future-gazing. Just practitioners sharing what actually works.
