DigitalOcean Deploy is a one-day event focused on what happens when AI hits production. Latency, throughput, cost per token, reliability — all the things that show up the second something hits production.
There will be a fireside chat with NVIDIA’s Kari Briski on agentic AI. Teams from Character, Workato, VAST Data, Arcee, and the vLLM ecosystem will be there breaking down how they are actually running inference at scale plus a first look at what DigitalOcean is building next.
April 28 in San Francisco. Free to attend.
