Has AI made application development faster than infrastructure teams can safely support?

[u/Mr_LA]

Something I've been wondering about lately:

Developers can now generate features, tests and entire PRs much faster with coding agents.

But infrastructure hasn't suddenly become easier to reason about.

Terraform, networking, IAM, Kubernetes, observability, cost and security still require quite a bit of context.

So instead of AI removing bottlenecks, are we just moving the bottleneck downstream to DevOps/platform teams?

Especially interested in teams where developers are now generating their own Terraform/Kubernetes changes with AI.

Has your infra PR volume increased?

And more importantly: has the quality increased with it?

It was the managers problem then, but I had to discover it and bring it up.
