Eduardo Bouças on how we built Netlify Database as an AI-native primitive: zero-config provisioning, a dedicated branch for every deploy preview, and a CLI that works equally well whether a person or an agent is driving.

How we built Netlify Database for AI-native development

Hot damn! Have been on Netlify post static buckets (10+ years ago?)... as tooling (and the world) has changed, there are so many doors opening in the "a frontender can do it all" reality... I've mentally fathomed a few presentations about this, the pieces all being in one place is integral to that!

AI can make teams smaller and roadmaps faster. That's the least interesting part. AI should help us be more ambitious and push the boundaries of what we build. I'm using Agent Runners to do fun, quirky things on my blog, that would never have been viable pre-AI.

AI and Ambition
AI isn't just about efficiency—it's about unlocking ambition. Small experiments on a personal blog reveal how AI agents let us push ideas further and build things we'd never have time for.

We made builds on Netlify a lot faster. Over the last year we've been building our own MicroVM based compute platform. It first went into production as our sandbox infrastructure for Agent Runners. Now it's live for our build system, and the effect is dramatic.
