The patterns of software are changing. Background processes running for hours instead of seconds. Agents calling tools, retrying, recovering. Isolated environments to execute generated code. Teams shipping the fastest-growing products are inventing new infrastructure patterns as they go.
localhost is a day with the people doing this work: founders, engineers, and lean platform teams redefining how software is built for the AI-native web.
What to expect from the day
TL;DR: Workshops in the morning. Keynote, talks, and demos in the afternoon.
For those who want to get hands-on, workshops will dive into production-grade patterns for building agents. Workshop seats are limited to ensure that workshop leaders can provide 1:1 support and feedback.
The afternoon will showcase technical talks and demos from developers and companies at the forefront of agentic application development. No sales pitches.
