Your Platform Was Built for Humans. Your Agents Don't Need a Portal
Internal developer platforms were designed around a human bottleneck. Golden paths, service catalogs, and self-service portals all exist to compress what a developer must know before they can ship.
AI agents invert every one of those assumptions. They don't struggle to discover a service; they struggle to know what they're allowed to break.
In this session, Divine will look at what actually has to change in a platform when a significant share of deployment traffic stops being human.
He'll cover the shift from UI abstractions to declarative capability contracts; why policy-as-code and admission control become the real interface rather than a safety net; what reconciliation loops offer that request/response agent tooling does not; and where emerging surfaces like MCP fit against the Kubernetes resource model platform teams already run.
Drawn from what platform teams across the cloud-native ecosystem are building today.
