Agents now generate large, correct-enough infrastructure changes faster than any human can review them and terraform validate/plan only prove intent, not that a change is actually safe against the real world. This talk shows how we can build new harnesses that allow us to exponentially increase the velocity with which we ship code by using the paradigm of the software factory using a real-cloud digital twin that deploys every change (plan → apply → destroy against real cloud providers) before it ever reaches a production repo.
