Kelsey Hightower on Platforms in the Agentic Era and the Launch of Massdriver v2 6/10/26
Register Here!Agentic AI doesn't just accelerate development — it breaks three things ops has always depended on: control over what gets built, comprehension of why it was built that way, and context about how everything relates.
Most teams aren't ready. The ticket ops trap that prevented true DevOps adoption is about to meet a 10-100x increase in infrastructure surface area, generated by systems that act confidently on incomplete information.
This talk addresses each failure mode directly. Constrained execution environments that make rogue agents structurally impossible. Visual architecture tooling that keeps human intent in the loop when AI generates the implementation. And a structured infrastructure graph that gives both humans and agents the relational context they need to make real decisions — because we've spent a decade optimizing for state, and the agentic era runs on context.
