🛠️Latent Space: Inside Railway's Agent-Native Cloud Bet
TL;DR
On Latent Space, Railway founder Jake Cooper argues for an 'agent-native' cloud where autonomous agents deploy and run software with no human in the loop. A look at what infrastructure changes when the user is a model.

Key Points
Published May 20, 2026 on the Latent Space AI Engineer podcast
Guest: Jake Cooper, founder of deployment platform Railway
Core idea: rebuild cloud primitives so AI agents, not humans, are the operators
Covers what deploy, debug, and rollback look like when an agent drives them
Why It Matters
If agents start shipping code on their own, the deployment platform becomes part of the agent stack, and the design assumptions that served human developers stop holding.
