CI/CD Is Dead, Agents Need Continuous Compute and Computers — Hugo Santos and Madison Faulkner
This talk argues that traditional Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines are becoming obsolete due to the rise of agentic software development. The core thesis is that the increasing volume and complexity of changes generated by autonomous agents necessitate a shift towards a model of Continuous Compute. This new paradigm focuses on accelerating the entire development lifecycle, from code generation to deployment, by integrating compute and caching more deeply into the workflow.
