The rapid rise of agentic development has radically transformed the software engineering landscape, compelling enterprises to embrace a multi-model AI ecosystem.<\/p>\n
The pace of change in software development has outstripped even the most optimistic predictions, leaving enterprises scrambling to keep up. To optimize workflows but avoid provider lock-in, organizations must empower developers to seamlessly orchestrate multiple agents across diverse AI providers, according to Mikhail Vink<\/a>\u00a0(pictured), vice president of business development at JetBrains s.r.o.,\u00a0whose integrated development environments serve 15 million developers.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you look at AI, this month there is something from Anthropic, next month it\u2019s something from Gemini<\/a>,\u201d Vink said. \u201cYou really, as a developer, need to be top-notch on top of all of those things to get the best from the market.\u201d<\/p>\n Vink spoke with theCUBE\u2019s John Furrier<\/a> and co-host\u00a0Alison Kosik<\/a> at Google Cloud Next<\/a>, during\u00a0an exclusive interview on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media\u2019s livestreaming studio. They discussed the evolving role of the software developer, agentic development and the critical need for robust governance in AI-driven environments.\u00a0(* Disclosure below.)<\/p>\n The architectural demands of agentic development<\/p>\n While generating code has become commoditized, establishing the infrastructure to manage these complex systems remains a hurdle. Deploying enterprise-grade solutions requires more than casual experimentation, Vink noted. The reality is a sprawling web of interconnected components \u2014 agents, memory layers, data pipelines and external tool integrations \u2014 all of which must be configured and maintained continuously.<\/p>\n \u201cYou need to have a bunch of agents \u2026 you need to control them; but then the story is that you also need to pass the data, pass the context, pass the memory,\u201d Vink said. \u201cYou need to connect them to the [Model Context Protocol server] to get the context to the agents, because otherwise, you\u2019re going to be missing out on the real-world data \u2014 structured data. You need to configure a lot of things for your developer environment to be sustainable at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n In response, JetBrains has been building a governance platform<\/a> designed to track costs, monitor model access and analyze what developers are actually accepting from AI-generated suggestions \u2014 giving enterprises the visibility they need to manage AI at scale. This requires developers to act as orchestrators, elevating the importance of quality assurance and critical thinking. Engineers must dive deep into generated algorithms to ensure security and functionality, Vink noted.<\/p>\n \u201cI would say that the most critical thing [in quality assurance] is critical thinking,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s not just approving what AI gives you, what agents generate \u2014 it\u2019s going really deep and understanding how the system works.\u201d<\/p>\n Here\u2019s the complete video interview, part of SiliconANGLE\u2019s and theCUBE\u2019s coverage of Google Cloud Next<\/a>:<\/p>\n (* Disclosure: JetBrains sponsored this segment of theCUBE.
