Platform Engineering
Workflows

Ten agent workflows for Engineering — infrastructure monitoring, API ecosystem analysis, technology trend tracking, platform capability intelligence, dependency risk assessment, architecture benchmarking, build-vs-buy analysis, technology migration planning, performance benchmarking, and infrastructure cost intelligence — making smarter engineering decisions with domain intelligence.

1Infrastructure Vendor Monitoring

AI agent monitors infrastructure vendors by tracking their status pages, documentation changes, pricing updates, and leadership stability — ensuring early warning of service degradation, outages, or vendor instability.

API Ecosystem Trends
API Architecture Shifts — Analysis of 8,400 domains with /api pages reveals: GraphQL adoption grew from 23% to 38% YoY. gRPC adoption in infrastructure APIs grew from 8% to 19%. Webhook support is now standard (78% of APIs). AI/ML API endpoints grew 340% YoY. Real-time streaming APIs (WebSocket/SSE) grew 89%.
GraphQL +65% YoY, AI APIs +340% — platform must adapt

3Technology Trend Tracking

AI agent tracks emerging technology trends by monitoring startup domains, new product launches, and technology-focused blog content — identifying trends that will impact platform architecture decisions.
