When agents build, deploy, and maintain, persistence becomes the hard problem

The New Stack · 2 days ago · 2

Kimi (Moonshot AI) built an agent-driven app that not only provisions a full stack and deploys it quickly, but also persists to maintain it over time. Kimi provisions a database in about 1 second using a warm pool of pre-initialized resources. The main change is that agent-scale products must redesign infrastructure around separating durable state from ephemeral compute to avoid “idle cost trap” losses in both tenant databases and the agent’s own workspace state.
