De quoi s'agit-il
Alamo Python is part of the PyTexas network of Python user groups. We are focused at providing in person training and social events to help grow the San Antonio Python community. We are proud to be a part of the DevSA community of San Antonio technology user groups.
We are aiming to have bi-monthly (every 2 months) social meetups and tech talks. These will be in person. Our tech talks will be aimed at getting hands on with coding techniques, tricks, using packages, and cover the gamut of professional, business, hobby, AI, and game programming. We are also hoping to have an extended meeting once per quarter where will will aim to drill deeper into different programming areas.
We have an online presence on the DevSA Discord Server as well as the PyTexas Discord Server. As part of PyTexas, our members will be introduced to the Austin, Houston and DFW Python user groups as well as the annual PyTexas conference.
We are always looking for local speakers so let us know if you would like to present at one of our events.

Alamo Python is teaming up with AITX to bring you a talk and interactive demo that cuts through the AI noise. Christian Reetz, AI Engineer and Organizer of AITX, will walk through the foundations of building intelligent systems, focusing on the underlying building blocks of AI agents with pure Python (no magic libraries or frameworks).
We’ll cover:
- Building AI agents at various levels
- How to leverage Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Model Context Protocol (MCP)
- Live demo of agents in action (if the LLMs cooperate 🤖)Whether you’re an AI hobbyist, a backend dev, or someone trying to cut through the hype, this talk will help ground your understanding in the “why” and “how” behind the tools.

This month we are excited to be joined by Akshay Mittal
Speaker: Akshay Mittal
Topic: AI in the Cloud: Modern Software Stacks & Cloud-Native Best Practices Featuring “CloudyBot” – an AI-Powered DevOps Assistant ChatbotThe rapid adoption of cloud-native technologies has fundamentally reshaped software engineering, enabling faster innovation, increased scalability, and improved reliability. Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into modern cloud-native software stacks offers transformative potential, streamlining operations, enhancing decision-making, and automating complex tasks. This presentation explores the intersection of AI and cloud-native development, highlighting best practices for integrating intelligent solutions into contemporary software architectures. Featuring a practical demonstration of "CloudyBot," an AI-powered DevOps assistant chatbot, attendees will witness firsthand how large language models (LLMs) can effectively address real-world DevOps challenges, such as troubleshooting, deployment strategies, and operational inquiries. Participants will gain insights into leveraging AI-driven tools, such as OpenAI and Hugging Face transformers, to enhance their workflows, improve operational efficiency, and maintain robust cloud infrastructures.
