Drive-in Conf Lite: AI and the Cloud is back! 
On October 1 at 18:30, join us at Kino Cabana for the new edition of Drive-in Conf - an evening dedicated to innovation, future technologies and the power of the cloud.
This year, we’re putting the spotlight on how AI and cloud solutions are reshaping the way we build, scale, and experience technology. Expect inspiring talks, fresh ideas, and the chance to connect with the tech community once again.
Our agenda will feature leading experts, including Nikolas Frizzarin, Samuil Aleksov, and Mihail Mihaylov, who will take us on deep dives into the world of modern development, serverless architectures, and future-ready solutions.
Our keynote speaker, Nikolas Frizzarin – Google Developer Expert in Web Technologies and Angular, Microsoft MVP, and JetBrains Community Member – will guide us through “Exploring new AI features in Chrome.” His talk explores the emergence of new native web AI APIs that integrate AI directly into web apps without third-party libraries—and for free! Learn what these APIs are, how to access them, and how to use them effectively. Through practical examples, you'll gain insights you can start implementing in your projects immediately.
Our next speaker is Samuil Aleksov, Chief Software Engineer at EPAM Bulgaria. With extensive experience building and leading large-scale software projects, Samuil is passionate about exploring how emerging technologies reshape the way we think, design and create. His talk "Software 2.0" is an introduction to the shift towards non-deterministic systems — and a fresh look at how we model the world around us.
Our third speaker is Mihail Mihaylov, Site Reliability Engineer / DevOps at MariaDB. With 15+ years of experience, Mihail specializes in building next-gen DBaaS and cloud database solutions.
His talk, "DIY Anomaly Detection with kagent and Prometheus," explores how the CNCF project kagent integrates Prometheus metrics with LLMs like Gemini, creating an AI-powered monitoring platform for real-time insights and anomaly detection. The session includes a live demo, practical integration steps, and future possibilities like VertexAI fine-tuning and automated anomaly testing, concluding with a discussion on detection techniques and out-of-the-box capabilities.
And this year’s partners: Google Developer Group Sofia and Cloud Native Community Groups.
