Sébastien Blanc is a Passion-Driven-Developer with one primary goal : Make the Developers Happy. He likes to share his passion by giving talks that are pragmatic, fun and focused on live coding.
2023 was the year of LLMs, 2024 was the year of RAG, 2025 will be the year of MCP ! From the official documentation you can read : “The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that enables seamless integration between LLM applications and external data sources and tools.” But does that really help you to understand what this means ?
Join me in this Tools-in-action to understand concretely what MCP is and you will see that the concepts behind it are not really new things but more a normalization of existing ones. You will learn how to consume from a MCP server but also how to write one, using the Quarkus implementation and its wonderful developer experience.
Expect a few slides and a lot of live coding ! By the end of the session you will have a complete understanding of this new buzzword of 2025 !
Platform Engineering and more specifically Internal Developers Platform(IDP) has been a hot topic now for almost 2 years but can anyone define precisely what an IDP is ? Isn’t my Kubernetes cluster a platform already or isn’t GitHub also a developer platform ? Isn’t everything a platform ?
In fact, there is no single answer to this but what you can do is have an opinionated approach to define what an Internal Developer Platform is. In this mini-lab we will build from scratch a simple but a functional and opinionated IDP offering a GitOps approach, stream-lined self-services for developers and a portal.
Using well-known solutions like Kubernetes, ArgoCD and the Operator pattern we will learn how to assemble those different components together in a way that makes sense for the Platform Engineering paradigm.
