As application landscapes grow and generative AI becomes more integrated into smart applications, organisations need to think about how they build scalable, loosely coupled systems while keeping AI models secure.
Valcon is hosting a Mendix Meetup at our Utrecht office on 12 November, bringing together the Mendix community for an evening exploring two sides of modern application development: event-driven architecture and AI security.
Across two sessions, we’ll explore how Kafka can support an event-driven application landscape, before taking an interactive look at prompt injection, AI guardrails and the evolving challenge of securing generative AI applications.
What you’ll learn
- Building event-driven application landscapes with Kafka: Explore the core concepts and architectural patterns behind using Kafka as the backbone of an event-driven application landscape.
- Integrating Mendix with event streaming: Hear practical lessons from integrating Mendix applications into a modern event-streaming ecosystem.
- Understanding prompt injection: Explore common prompt injection techniques and what they mean for applications incorporating generative AI.
- AI guardrails and security: Take an interactive look at the security mechanisms used by AI systems and the ongoing challenge of protecting models from attempts to bypass them.
Agenda
Event-Driven Application Landscapes with Kafka
Tim Wubbe, Mendix Expert, will explore how Kafka can serve as the backbone of an event-driven application landscape, covering core concepts, architectural patterns and practical lessons learned from integrating Mendix applications into modern event-streaming ecosystems.
Interactive Prompt Injection: Breaking AI Guardrails?
Johan Flikweert, Mendix MVP, will dive into prompt injection through an interactive session featuring live examples and audience participation. The session will explore common attack techniques, AI security mechanisms and the ongoing challenge of protecting AI systems.
