What we’re about
Python is a powerful, very approachable programming language. Come to our group and participate in discussions and educational presentations about it. We welcome those new to Python as well as those who have using it for years. We have two social meetings and two hands-on technical meetings each month. We cover many problem domains from serving web pages and database programming, to programs for systems administration and game programming.

Topic: AI in the Cloud: Modern Software Stacks & Cloud-Native Best Practices Featuring “CloudyBot” – an AI-Powered DevOps Assistant ChatbotThe rapid adoption of cloud-native technologies has fundamentally reshaped software engineering, enabling faster innovation, increased scalability, and improved reliability. Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into modern cloud-native software stacks offers transformative potential, streamlining operations, enhancing decision-making, and automating complex tasks. This presentation explores the intersection of AI and cloud-native development, highlighting best practices for integrating intelligent solutions into contemporary software architectures. Featuring a practical demonstration of "CloudyBot," an AI-powered DevOps assistant chatbot, attendees will witness firsthand how large language models (LLMs) can effectively address real-world DevOps challenges, such as troubleshooting, deployment strategies, and operational inquiries. Participants will gain insights into leveraging AI-driven tools, such as OpenAI and Hugging Face transformers, to enhance their workflows, improve operational efficiency, and maintain robust cloud infrastructures.
