This week, Software Engineering Daily explored how infrastructure teams are adapting to AI workloads across different scales. From Google's evolution of its database systems to handle new computational demands, to Vercel's approach for managing distributed agent applications, the episodes highlight a common challenge: existing architectures weren't designed for the unpredictable resource patterns that AI introduces. The tension between scaling systems built for traditional software versus building new primitives from scratch emerged as a defining question for infrastructure in 2024.
