Presentation: Beyond Prompting: Context Engineering for Production-Grade AI

Ricardo Ferreira: My name is Ricardo Ferreira. We're going to be talking about this context engineering stuff. This presentation is actually going to be a mix of lessons learned when I've developed a specific solution that I'm going to talk about. I learned the easy and the hard way. Also, it's going to be a mix of storytelling, because these applications that I've developed actually have a story. I was setting up my Alexa device, which has to do with what I built. I work for Redis. Let me tell the story about what I actually have built, so you can understand where I'm coming from. I work inside Redis from this part of this team called developer experience. One of the things that we started doing, probably I think about two years ago, is to build an open-source project called Agent Memory Server, or AMS, on top of Redis. The idea of this open-source project was to create a very quick, fast memory layer on top of Redis, so developers can build either short-term memory and long-term memory on top of it. Build more natural human-like conversations with it. Then our team that developed this project, we're also being…
