What ‘vibe coding’ means for API platforms and the future of DevRel

AI-assisted code is becoming a standard part of many developers’ daily workflows, and AI-driven tools are now directly targeting the broader software development lifecycle.

For instance, at Amazon Web Services’s 2025 re:Invent in December, AWS launched a new class of autonomous, long-running ‘frontier agents’, including a coding agent, a security agent, and a DevOps agent, each designed to work for hours or days on behalf of development teams.

These developments reflect a broader shift: organizations are increasingly seeing AI not just as an assistive typing tool they can use to develop proof-of-concepts and prototypes, but as a partner they can use throughout the development life cycle, capable of generating integration code, handling security reviews, or even triaging operations issues automatically.
