The AI-Native SDLC Starts With Your Infrastructure
Summary
The article argues that the AI-native software development lifecycle (SDLC) starts with infrastructure. It references Anthropic's six-stage playbook and highlights Stage 4, where the agent checks its own work, emphasizing the difficulty of verification when tests run against fake services and the need for real dependencies. It presents mirrord as a tool to run agent code against real Kubernetes services, enabling faster feedback loops and multi-agent scenarios, and offers practical guidance on getting started.
