What I Learned Building a Ride Share Platform for RoboTaxis
What happens when autonomous vehicles need to communicate with passengers, dispatchers, traffic systems, and each other in real time? Building a RoboTaxi platform taught me that traditional AI architectures crumble under the complexity of large-scale multi-agent communication.
In this talk, I'll share hard-won lessons from architecting a distributed AI system where hundreds of autonomous agents coordinate thousands of rides daily. You'll discover why point-to-point agent communication creates a brittle mess, and how event-driven architecture (EDA) becomes the nervous system that keeps everything connected.
Through a live demo of the RoboTaxi platform, I'll show you:
- How AI agents can communicate asynchronously without tight coupling
- The architecture decisions that separate toy demos from production-ready AI systems
Whether you're building chatbot networks, autonomous systems, or multi-agent AI applications, this session will give you the architectural foundation to scale beyond the prototype phase.
Let's take this ride together.
Event-Driven Architecture: Breaking Conversational Barriers with Distributed AI Agents
If agents are the new apps, what's the operating system?
We currently stand at the convergence of speech, vision, and intelligence as the boundaries of human interactions with machines are blurring into a more seamless, interactive ecosystem. Imagine a world where hundreds of AI agents interact with humans globally, generating hundreds and thousands of conversations per hour.
Building such a system at scale requires a robust, well-designed architecture. As microservices need Event-Driven Architecture(EDA) to scale beyond fragile point-to-point connections, AI agents need a similar architectural shift.
This talk demonstrates a practical approach to building production-ready distributed AI agents beyond simple reactive systems. Through a real-world example, the hands-on live demo will showcase a scalable event-driven architecture for AI agents using Apache Kafka, Apache Flink, and Kubernetes.
EDAs are the future of Agentic AI. Why don't we start building them from here?
