Redhatsummit

 

On 15 October, AE is joining Red Hat Summit: Connect Brussels 2026 as a Gold Sponsor.

Red Hat Summit: Connect brings together Red Hat experts, customers, partners and peers to explore what’s next in enterprise IT. Expect expert insights, practical use cases, product demonstrations, breakout sessions and plenty of opportunities to exchange ideas with the broader Red Hat ecosystem.

For AE, it’s a chance to share how we approach some of today’s most pressing technology challenges — from platform engineering and application modernization to creating a more secure and scalable path from development to production.

Meet us at booth G5

You’ll also find the AE team throughout the day at our booth, G5. Drop by to exchange ideas with our team about platform engineering, application modernisation, hybrid cloud and the Red Hat ecosystem.

Whether you’re looking to improve the developer experience, standardise the path to production or modernise your application landscape, we’d be happy to hear what you’re working on and share how we approach these challenges at AE.

Jeroen Haegebaert

Code was never the bottleneck

AI coding assistants have made it faster than ever to write code. But getting that code into production — securely, compliantly and at scale — is another story.

During our breakout session, Jeroen Haegebaert, Cloud Platform Architect at AE, will explore why the real bottleneck isn’t writing code, but everything needed to turn working software into something organisations can confidently run in production.

Code was never the bottleneck looks at how a developer platform can encode organisational standards directly into the delivery process. Security, observability, authentication, governance and access controls become part of the platform rather than something every development team needs to solve from scratch.

Jeroen will walk through the reference architecture behind this approach, grounded in a platform we use at AE, and show where Red Hat technologies fit into the picture.
