Microsoft Foundry provides a managed and opinionated platform for building AI solutions quickly. At the same time, real world use cases often require deeper customization, advanced integrations, and full control over architecture and code.

In this session, we explore how Microsoft Foundry bridges the gap between platform level abstractions and pro code development. We will look at where the platform accelerates delivery and where developers can extend it with custom components, services, and workflows.

Through practical examples, you will learn how to combine the speed of Microsoft Foundry with the flexibility of pro code to build scalable, production ready AI solutions that meet enterprise requirements.

Key Takeaways
• Understand the abstraction layers of Microsoft Foundry
• Learn when to rely on platform capabilities and when to use pro code
• Discover patterns for extending Microsoft Foundry with custom logic and services
• Design flexible and future proof AI architectures

Target audience
Developers and architects with basic to intermediate experience in AI or modern data platforms who want to understand how to combine Microsoft Foundry with pro code approaches.
