Port Community Session: December 2026 Edition

Join us for the next Port Community Session. This monthly gathering is where the Port community comes together to explore new product updates, hear from voices across the industry, and dig into everything agentic SDLC and the AI software factory.

We open with what shipped last month: a walkthrough of the latest features, the problems each one solves, and what’s next on the roadmap.

Then Community Voice, and this month it comes from Microsoft. Daniel Meppiel, Director of Agent & Dev Platforms at Microsoft to discuss What enterprises need to adopt Agentic Software Factories.Daniel spends his days advising some of the largest GitHub and Microsoft customers in Europe on adopting the agentic SDLC at scale. Most enterprises already run AI coding agents, but very few have built a fully agentic SDLC, and fewer still run an Agentic Software Factory. Daniel will walk through why most CISOs can’t approve that kind of setup yet, and the solutions that are starting to build the trust and guarantees enterprises need to run fully automated software factories at scale.

You’ll learn:

• Why the jump from AI coding agents to a full Agentic Software Factory stalls in most enterprises
• What’s holding CISOs back from approving fully automated agentic workflows
• The approaches that are building trust and guarantees into how agents operate
• What it takes to scale an Agentic Software Factory once the foundation is in place

Platform, DevEx, or security, you’ll leave with a clearer picture of what stands between your org and a working Agentic Software Factory, and how teams are getting past it.

What we’ll cover

• What shipped: a walkthrough of recent releases and changes
• Community Voice: Daniel Meppiel from Microsoft on what enterprises need to adopt Agentic Software Factories
• What’s next on the roadmap, and the community priorities shaping it
