Explore the SONIC framework (surface integration, observability, network, integrations, and compute) as a comprehensive blueprint for building AI-ready infrastructure in this 16-minute conference talk. Discover the critical role of context repositories in helping AI systems understand codebases and learn how standards like Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrate with platform architectures. Understand why platform engineers must prepare for the "time between disengagements" paradigm, where autonomous agents collaborate with human developers, and why establishing "the agentic standard" becomes essential when evaluating AI developer tools. Gain practical insights into tactical bottom-up adoption strategies and strategic top-down implementation approaches. Walk away with a concrete reference architecture and actionable strategies to transform your platform engineering practices for the AI-driven development landscape.
