Bytefest developer conference talk: From Cowboy Code to Production Gold with Kiro

On Thursday March 17th I held yet another talk about Spec-Driven development, this time at Sopra Steria’s Bytefest developer conference. As the capabilities in this field are evolving fasted I showed a practical demonstration on how to go from solo mode to full team visibility by leveraging the Github MCP server to automagically create and update Github issues for spec refinement and task execution. This ensures ongoing work is visible on a Kanban board, for full transparency to everyone involved, from developers to stakeholders.

Abstract

Vibe coding can be very useful for prototyping, but do you trust it for production? Get an introduction to the AI-assisted software development lifecycle and how you can use Kiro to ship your product using professional craftmanship practices.
