Good Vibes or Bad? Agentic DevOps Evolves
Broadcast Date: August 21st, 2025 at 3 PM ET
DevOps is undergoing a radical transformation, fueled by AI-driven platforms like Bolt, Lovable, Anthropic, OpenAI and others. They are seriously disrupting the market with agentic capabilities that can design, test, and deploy code at lightning speed. While the power of these tools is breathtaking, there are serious risks: quality, security, governance, intellectual property.
As enterprises race to harness this power, many find themselves increasingly dependent on third-party ecosystems, trading flexibility for convenience and locking themselves into costly licensing models with a bevy of hidden costs. One alternative? Roll your own with Agentic DevOps! That’s the vision of Arun Varadarajan of Ascendion.
Register for this this episode of DM Radio to learn how organizations can use AI agents not only to automate workflows and accelerate development, but also to build systems they control, from ideation to production; free from vendor lock-in. Discover how this new approach marries the speed of cutting-edge AI with the strategic advantage of software ownership, opening doors to innovation without the strings attached.
