Don't Vibe Code Your Agent Infrastructure - Akshat Bubna, Modal

Why watch

Akshat Bubna, CTO of Modal, explains the infrastructure requirements for building production AI agents at scale. He covers workspace management, persistent state without idle compute costs, elastic resources, on-demand GPUs, shared file systems for agent collaboration, network security to prevent data leaks, and agent-readable observability. This talk is for engineers and platform teams building AI agent systems who want to understand why building your own sandbox platform is not the right approach.
