/ About this event

Gen AI Observability for Engineering Leaders Interactive Workshop + Live Demo | 90 Minutes

πŸ” Your Team Adopted AI Tools β€” Now What? Every engineering org is deploying AI coding assistants, agentic workflows, and foundation models. But here's the uncomfortable truth: most have zero visibility into whether it's actually working.

How much are you spending per commit on AI tokens?

Are your developers faster β€” or just busier?

Which of your 30+ AI tools are delivering ROI and which are waste?

Join us for a 90-minute hands-on workshop where we'll show you a battle-tested framework for measuring AI's real impact on engineering velocity, code quality, and cost β€” built entirely on AWS-native services with zero per-seat licensing.

What You'll Learn πŸ“Š Measure Real Impact β€” Move beyond vanity metrics. Track adoption, productivity, and outcomes across your entire engineering org with a proven KPI framework

πŸ”₯ AI Coding Tool Economics β€” Get full visibility into 40+ AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Grok & more). See token usage, model attribution, cost-per-commit, and waste detection in one place

πŸ—οΈ AWS-Native Architecture β€” Deploy dashboards on CloudWatch, QuickSight, Bedrock, and DynamoDB. No vendor lock-in, no per-seat fees β€” just your data, your infrastructure

πŸ›‘οΈ Security & Governance β€” Address the 8 CISO concerns keeping your security team up at night. Shadow AI detection, compliance guardrails, and policy enforcement built in

πŸ“ˆ Maturity Assessment β€” Understand where your org sits on the AI transformation curve and get a concrete roadmap to level up

Live Demo: What You'll See in Action βœ… Executive Readout Dashboard β€” CTO-level view of AI impact across teams βœ… Token Economics Console β€” CFO-friendly cost attribution ($/commit, tokens/line) βœ… Team Velocity Tracker β€” Engineering manager view of before vs. after βœ… CISO Compliance Dashboard β€” Governance, data flow, and policy status βœ… AI-DORA Analysis β€” AI-native twist on DORA metrics for modern teams

Who Should Attend CTOs & VPs of Engineering β€” "Is our AI investment paying off?"

Engineering Managers β€” "How do I measure my team's AI-assisted productivity?"

CISOs & Security Leaders β€” "What AI tools are in use and are they compliant?"

CFOs & Finance Partners β€” "What are we actually spending on AI tokens?"

Ideal for orgs with 20–200+ engineers that have adopted AI tools but lack a measurement strategy.

What You'll Walk Away With βœ… A clear framework for measuring AI transformation (Adoption β†’ Productivity β†’ Outcomes) βœ… Access to an open-source assessment tool you can run on your own codebase βœ… Architectural blueprints for deploying observability dashboards on AWS βœ… A maturity score for your organization with a personalized improvement roadmap βœ… Direct access to AWS Solutions Architects who built this for production

Event Details πŸ“… Date: October 16, 2026 10:00 AM PT (LA Tech Week) ⏱️ Duration: 90 minutes πŸ“ Location: 2450 Colorado Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90404 πŸ‘₯ Capacity: 80–100 (first come, first served) πŸ’» Bring: Your laptop for the hands-on assessment

Hosted By AWS Startups β€” Built by Solutions Architects who've deployed this framework with real customers and scaled it through partner channels. This isn't theory β€” it's production-tested.
