Why Agent Infrastructure Must Scale

Agent deployments scale. Infrastructure that doesn't scale becomes a bottleneck. Shared infrastructure scales from day one.

The Scaling Problem

Custom infrastructure has scaling problems:

Designed for small scale: Infrastructure designed for 10 agents breaks at 100.

Rebuilding at scale: Scaling requires rebuilding. Rebuilding takes time and money.

Scaling complexity: Scaling infrastructure is complex. Many teams get it wrong.

Scaling costs: Scaling infrastructure is expensive. Costs grow with scale.

Shared infrastructure scales because:

Designed for scale: Infrastructure designed to scale from day one. No rebuilding needed.

Proven at scale: Infrastructure proven at scale by many teams. Scaling patterns that work.

Scaling expertise: Infrastructure maintained by teams with scaling expertise. Expertise you don't have.

Shared scaling costs: Scaling costs shared across teams. Lower cost per team.

Scaling impacts agent deployments:

Growth: Infrastructure that scales enables growth. Agents can scale without limits.

Cost: Infrastructure that scales efficiently keeps costs low. Lower cost at scale.

Reliability: Infrastructure that scales maintains reliability. No degradation at scale.

The teams that use scalable infrastructure can scale agents. The teams that build custom hit scaling walls.

Scaling is a requirement. The teams that understand this choose shared infrastructure.
