The Agentic Infrastructure Era
The first frontier agents excelled at was coding. The reason is evident: we have billions of lines of self-documenting code available on the internet for the LLMs to learn from. We can measure their performance on coding thanks to linters, type checkers, compilers, and test suites. The most advanced agentic systems to hit product/market fit have been coding-oriented, and it has resulted in an intense velocity increase in how much and how fast code we can write.
But as the AI tsunami whips up reams of code, what happens to it becomes just as critical. As an industry, we’ve moved beyond just coding to engineering, which includes documentation, tests, automation, and, yes, managing the very infrastructure our applications need to run. The deeper into production you go, however, the less good agents naturally are at helping. At Pulumi, we live and breathe infrastructure, and have seen this firsthand. But we’ve also been hard at work building the platform this new era runs on. In this post, I’ll share our point of view, what we’ve built, what we’re launching today, and why all infrastructure is about to be agentic.
