You Don’t Need a Perfect Modern Stack to Agentize Your SDLC
Continuing the idea from the previous post.
Many companies believe that to add agents to their SDLC they first need to completely get rid of legacy, move to microservices, fully implement SRE the way Google writes about it, and migrate all infrastructure to containers and AWS.
In reality that is only a fast track. You can bring agents into most stages of the SDLC even if services are deployed manually to bare-metal servers running Debian 6. There is even a small bonus: modern models are often more effective with a simple, manually managed infrastructure than with crooked YAML magic that was hacked together as fast as possible during a rushed migration.
What truly stops companies from moving to the next level is not legacy code or infrastructure, but a conservative mindset.
