Explore a 45-minute conference talk from YOW! Australia 2024 where Thomas Vitale, Software Architect at Systematic and author of "Cloud Native Spring in Action," demonstrates how to build production-ready LLM applications using Java and AI. Learn about core architectural patterns for integrating AI capabilities into existing software systems, with practical examples of text classification, structured data extraction, semantic search, and agentic tools. Watch as Vitale builds a "composer assistant" application using Spring AI, addressing critical production concerns like developer experience, observability, resilience, and deployment strategies. The presentation culminates in a live demonstration where Vitale composes and performs music for a movie scene chosen by the audience, showcasing the practical intersection of Java and Generative AI for real-world creative problem-solving.
