Inside the Background Agent Landscape: what to buy or build, what’s missing, and what’s next

What this webinar covers:

Stripe and Ramp published their internal background agent architectures everyone wants to know how they did it. But most companies are not Stripe, and don't have the existing infrastructure. So the question is: what tools can I use? And what do I need to buy, and what do I need to build?

The ecosystem is moving fast. The background agent landscape is a hand-curated list to bring you clarity. It includes critical infra like runtimes and sandboxes, but doesn't leave out essential areas like security, and ROI. The landscape is focused on cloud/remote background agents that run in the background and in parallel.

This session goes behind the scenes. We talk about how we chose the categories, the trade-offs we made, such as why we coupled security to the runtimes; and why security remains an underserved area of the landscape.

Key takeaways:

• Why the sandbox layer is more complex than it looks
• What Stripe and Ramp's architectures tell us about the stack
• The tools that surprised us during research
• How the landscape will look different in six months

This webinar is for you if:

You're figuring out how to go from single agents on your developers laptop to fleets across your org, and want an opinionated take on what's available, what's missing, and where to start.
