Java’s GenAI Era: Getting Spring AI and Neo4j Applications to Production

Session Track: Applications

Session Time:

Session description

We all want to use GenAI to give ourselves superpowers, right? It might be fun to build these innovative applications, but how do we actually put them into production? What sorts of things do we need to think about or plan for? In this session, the presenters will build a quick RAG application using Spring AI and Neo4j, highlighting the differences from a traditional, non-AI approach. We will see how Spring AI extends all the things we know and love about the Spring ecosystem and how its history with Neo4j seamlessly blends into this GenAI era. We’ll also talk deployment as we look at packaging, hosting, and steps for running our smart app. From gotchas to developer-friendly features, join us to simplify your next GenAI app’s path to production!
