Foojay Podcast #79: AI4Devs Interviews - Part 1

On September 19th, 2025, the first AI4Devs conference took place in Amsterdam. I grabbed my camera and microphone to talk with speakers and attendees about the revolution in AI-powered coding and application development. In this first part, we’ll explore Spring libraries, security, infrastructure and scaling, real-world use cases, event streaming, JetBrains tools, and more…

I asked all my guests the same opening question: ‘What’s your name, and what brings you to this conference?’ Let’s get started!
