Giving AI Agents The Keys To Real Infrastructure
devops.com, Thursday, April 2nd, 2026
AI coding assistants can generate pull requests faster than most teams can review them, and that mismatch is creating a new kind of bottleneck across engineering organizations.
The volume of AI-generated code is growing rapidly, but without a reliable way to validate that code against real production environments, teams are left choosing between slowing down to manually review everything or accepting the risk of pushing untested changes forward.
Alan Shimel speaks with Sumeet Vaidya, CEO and co-founder of Crafting.dev, about the emerging concept of closed-loop autonomous development. The idea is straightforward: rather than treating AI agents as tools that hand off code for humans to verify, give those agents the ability to test their own output against live dependencies and real infrastructure before a human ever needs to get involved.
