Agent Substrate 101: Scaling Agents Changes the Kubernetes Equation
Thursday September 10 @ 9am PT / noon ET
What happens when 10 agents become 10,000? Kubernetes is very good at running applications. Agents aren’t quite applications.
They’re bursty. They appear and disappear. They spawn other agents. And treating every agent like another long-running Kubernetes workload can create problems with startup time, resource utilization, redundancy, and blast radius.
In this 30-minute webinar, we’ll look at what scaling agents actually means—and the architectural decisions that start to matter long before you reach massive scale.
You’ll leave knowing:
- Why scaling agents is different from scaling traditional services
- Where Pod-per-agent architectures start to strain
- How to think about redundancy, blast radius, startup latency, and density
- What you can change today to improve performance and reduce infrastructure risk
- How an Agent Substrate changes the relationship between agents and Kubernetes
The big question: Do you really want one Pod for every agent?
