Summary

Nick Turley, Head of Product for ChatGPT at OpenAI, is joining Neon's Board of Directors to help shape the evolution of fundamental internet infrastructure in the age of AI. The shift towards software development comes as a result of key product launches from customers like Replit and Create.xyz, which have started spinning up new databases and instances every few seconds, leading to an unprecedented scale of database creation. This is driven by advancements in code-generation tools enabled by Large Language Models (LLMs), allowing developers to go from a prompt to a fully functioning application in minutes, with the game being on that most new applications will be started with AI agents for at least the first 10-100 iterations. The introduction of SAI agents introduces new demands on infrastructure, including parallelism at scale, instant deploys and forkable environments, strong isolation, and full-stack integrations. With Nick Turley's leadership, Neon aims to refine its strategy and build infrastructure that meets the demands of this future, where the scale will be massive and AI-generated code is unpredictable.
