StackGen Included as a Sample Vendor in Four Gartner® Hype Cycle™ reports in 2025

The infrastructure landscape is at an inflection point. As AI transforms development velocity and business operations, the traditional boundaries between platform engineering, site reliability engineering, infrastructure strategy, and operations automation are converging. That's why we're thrilled to announce that StackGen has been included as a Platform Engineering, Infrastructure Strategy, Site Reliability Engineering, and I&O Automation Sample Vendor across four separate Gartner Hype Cycle reports for 2025.

A Comprehensive Recognition of Autonomous Infrastructure

StackGen appears in the Infrastructure from Code category across all four reports:

• Hype Cycle for Platform Engineering, 2025 (25 June 2025)
• Hype Cycle for Site Reliability Engineering, 2025 (16 June 2025)
• Hype Cycle for Infrastructure Strategy, 2025 (17 June 2025)
• Hype Cycle for I&O Automation, 2025 (27 June 2025)

We believe this cross-domain recognition validates our core belief: autonomous infrastructure isn't a point solution—it's a comprehensive approach that transforms how enterprises think about and manage infrastructure across all operational disciplines.

Why This Matters: The Convergence of Infrastructure Disciplines

Platform engineering focuses on building self-service internal developer platforms that enhance developer experience and productivity. Aiden for Infrastructure embodies this vision by automatically generating compliant infrastructure from developer intent, eliminating the cognitive load of complex Infrastructure as Code languages.

Site Reliability Engineering: Operational Excellence Through Intelligence

SRE practices enable organizations to achieve rapid software delivery alongside optimal reliability and performance. Our Aiden for Reliability and Aiden for Infrastructure deliver autonomous incident response and drift detection, reducing mean time to resolution while freeing SRE teams to focus on innovation rather than firefighting.

Infrastructure Strategy: Long-term Vision Meets Immediate Value

Infrastructure strategy addresses enterprise-wide infrastructure planning and modernization. Our comprehensive Autonomous Infrastructure Platform provides both immediate operational benefits and a clear path toward fully autonomous infrastructure operations.

I&O Automation: From Manual to Autonomous Operations

I&O automation enables greater value, efficiency, and agility in infrastructure operations. Our multi-agent architecture transforms traditional automation approaches into intelligent, self-learning systems that continuously improve over time.

Real Enterprise Impact Across All Domains

Our customers are seeing transformative results that span across all four recognition categories:

Developer Productivity (Platform Engineering):

• Developers focus on building features instead of managing infrastructure complexity
• Self-service infrastructure provisioning through natural language interfaces
• 95% automated infrastructure provisioning eliminating manual bottlenecks

Operational Reliability (Site Reliability Engineering):

• 30% reduction in production incidents through intelligent self-healing
• Mean time to resolution reduced to under 5 minutes for infrastructure issues
• Proactive drift detection preventing configuration-related outages

Strategic Infrastructure Transformation (Infrastructure Strategy):

• Clear path from manual operations to autonomous infrastructure
• Enterprise-grade governance ensuring compliance across all deployments
• 10x improvement in platform engineer productivity for infrastructure tasks

Automated Operations (I&O Automation):

• 35% fewer security incidents through continuous compliance monitoring
• Autonomous cost optimization reducing infrastructure spend
• Intelligent workload placement and resource optimization

The Future is Autonomous Infrastructure

As Pritpal Kandhari from Prokopto shared: "StackGen's AI agents understand context, learn from patterns, and make intelligent decisions across the infrastructure lifecycle. Features like drift detection and compliance automation have cut 60-70% of the repetitive workload typically handled by our SRE teams."

This isn't just about automation—it's about infrastructure that thinks, learns, and adapts. Our multi-agent architecture, directed by Aiden, coordinates across the entire infrastructure lifecycle:

• Aiden for Infrastructure generates infrastructure from application intent and prevents configuration drift
• Aiden for Governance continuously enforces security and compliance
• Aiden for Reliability autonomously resolves production incidents
• Aiden for FinOps continuously balances cost and performance

What This Recognition Means

We believe being named across four Gartner Hype Cycle validates that the infrastructure industry is ready for a fundamental shift toward autonomous operations. While others focus on incremental improvements to existing approaches, we're building the foundation for infrastructure that operates itself.

The convergence of platform engineering, site reliability engineering, infrastructure strategy, and I&O automation isn't happening by accident. It's happening because enterprises need infrastructure that can match the pace of AI-driven development and business transformation.
