Agentic Infrastructure

The evolution of infrastructure is moving towards a new era driven by large language models (LLMs) and coding agents, which are increasingly responsible for software development, testing, and deployment. This shift is evidenced by the rapid increase in agent-initiated deployments, with Vercel witnessing a significant rise in weekly deployments driven by agents. As software becomes more agentic, requiring infrastructure that can autonomously manage, adapt, and respond to changes, companies like Vercel are developing platforms that unify AI capabilities, providing a seamless environment for coding agents to operate. This includes features such as programmatic deployments, agent-oriented serverless workloads, and enhanced observability, aiming to create a system that not only supports but also acts as an agent itself. The infrastructure is designed to handle the complex needs of AI workloads, ensuring efficiency and resilience while reducing human intervention, ultimately positioning itself as a proactive participant in software management.
