Your AI agent can call an API, touch your data, and execute a workflow. Who said it could?

Enterprise AI has moved past “get the model into production.” The engineering problem still remains: “how do I control what this thing is allowed to do”.

Platform Engineering meet-ups are curated by:

• Talina Shrotriya, Senior Engineering Manager at Couchbase
• Vivek Pemavat, Principal Engineer at Acceldata
• Bharadwaj Embar, Engineering Manager at Nutanix

📅 Friday, 5 September
🕑 Time: 3 PM - 5 PM
📍 Venue: Bangalore, TBA

🔴 Live stream available exclusively for Rootconf members — free in-person seats for everyone else.

Edition 5: Platform Engineering for Enterprise AI — security, guardrails, governance, sandboxing & observability

AI agents call APIs, touch enterprise data, execute workflows, and make decisions on the user’s behalf. The questions we can’t stop mulling over are:

• How do you sandbox agent execution?
• How do you enforce policy consistently across models, agents, and tools?
• How do you audit what an agent actually did, and why?
• How do you make all of this reusable instead of rebuilding it for every AI app?

This edition digs into these real infra problems.

Featured talks

1. Beyond AI sandboxing: decoupling AI from execution — Gowtham Sadasivam (Senior Staff Engineer, Acceldata) makes the case for decoupling AI agents from execution entirely: instead of sandboxing the agent, run it against a secure remote dev environment on infrastructure you control, over MCP, with any AI coding assistant.

📣 Speak at the meet-up

If you are building agent identity, tool access control, sandboxing, securing MCP servers, observability for agentic workflows, multi-tenant AI platforms, share the messy production lessons.
