All set for Google Cloud Next here in Las Vegas! 🚀
Excited for a few days of learning, building, and connecting with amazing people in the ecosystem.
Who else is coming? 👀
Ping me in DMs, would love to meet up!
If you want to get started with Genkit, this is the perfect place to begin!
Genkit for the win!
Grateful to everyone who came to my talk yesterday on Genkit at the European GenAI Summit! 🙌
It was amazing to see so much interest, curiosity, and great conversations around building the future of AI.
Thanks for the energy, the questions, and for making it such a fun session!
I’ve been using Genkit a lot in JS and Go, and honestly, the dev experience is :fire:, local dev tools, great abstractions, smooth workflows for building AI apps.
At some point I thought: Java really needs this. So I went ahead and ported the whole ecosystem to Java: buff.ly/SiEay79

Who said Genkit only works on Google Cloud? 👀
New post: Running Genkit on AWS Lambda with the Bedrock plugin.
Typed flows. Streaming support. Zero-boilerplate Lambda handlers. One-line model swaps between Amazon Nova, Claude, and more.

Discover how to leverage Genkit flows on Azure Functions with the power of Azure OpenAI. We'll delve into creating a story generator, a joke generator with streaming capabilities, and a protected summary endpoint utilizing API key authentication.
Have you ever imagined building your own Perplexity AI right in your terminal? This blog post guides you through creating an interactive command-line chat tool that searches the web and generates AI-powered answers with cited sources.
Exploring the versatility of Genkit, it's exciting to see how its cloud-agnostic nature allows for a great integration across different platforms. A great example is running Genkit flows on AWS Lambda using the AWS Bedrock plugin.
Some cool swag arrived today from Google!
As a mentor with the @GoogleDeepMind Accelerator, I’ve seen firsthand the impact this program has on early-stage startups.
The Robotics Cohort is now open for applications! If you're a Europe-based robotics startup working on advanced AI-driven systems:

🚀 New in the Genkit × AWS JS plugin: you can now deploy your Genkit Flows directly as AWS Lambda handlers with a simple helper 👇
This makes building serverless GenAI backends ridiculously easy.
Introducing AWS Lambda support, turn your Flow into a Lambda function in one line.
GDEs! Ready to lead something awesome this #BuildWithAI season?
I just launched a hands-on workshop on Building an AI Chat App with @GenkitFramework & Express, perfect for devs looking to dive deep into Gen AI apps beyond the usual serverless examples.

Genkit Java is an unofficial port for Java developers who want the same benefits that Genkit and its Dev UI offer, now available in the Java ecosystem.
I’ve put together an article walking through how to get started:

Thank you!
Still can’t quite believe this, but it’s official
I’ve been renewed as a @GitHub.com Star for 2026
Out of 180+ million developers on GitHub, only ~80 people worldwide are part of this program. Being renewed means a lot; it’s a reminder that the work we do in open source, education actually matters
I’ll be in Las Vegas from April 22–24 for Google Cloud Next!
If you’re attending and want to catch up between sessions, ping me ☕️🤝
Always great to meet folks from the community IRL!
If you want to get started with Genkit + Gemini + grounding, I’ve put together a curated, hands-on codelab to help you go from zero to shipping.
Practical, opinionated, and straight to the point.
