Efficient DevSecOps workflows with a little help from AI - Michael Friedrich

This talk explores the role of DevSecOps workflows in accelerating software development from initial idea to production deployment. The speaker highlights inefficiencies in the DevSecOps lifecycle, such as lengthy discussions, context-less merge request reviews, and challenges with legacy code. Attendees will learn about the integration of AI into their workflows, including the use of custom language models, retrieval augmented generation, and AI agents to streamline processes. The session also covers how to establish AI guardrails and assess the impact of AI on DevSecOps efficiency. Michael Friedrich, a Staff Developer Advocate at GitLab, leads this discussion, bringing his extensive experience in software development and passion for education.
