AI copilots are everywhere in software development today. But the real transformation is only beginning.
In this episode of DevOps Sauna, Pinja and Stefan explore the Agentic Shift — the move from AI assistants that respond to prompts toward autonomous agents that can pursue goals, make decisions, and act independently inside complex systems.
They discuss what it really takes for organizations to move from AI copilots to AI coworkers, including data readiness, governance, security, and organizational maturity. Because deploying autonomous agents is not just a technical challenge — it’s also about responsibility, guardrails, and understanding the risks of letting AI operate with increasing autonomy.
You’ll also hear how concepts like domain-driven design, bounded contexts, and incident response automation may shape the first real use cases for autonomous AI agents in DevOps environments.
If your organization is experimenting with AI today, this conversation will help you understand what the next phase of AI adoption actually looks like.

AI is moving fast. Regulation is catching up.
In this episode of the DevOps Sauna, Pinja and Stefan are joined by Nora Fosse from Eficode to break down what AI governance really means in 2026.
With the EU AI Act coming into force and fines up to 7% of annual turnover, governance is no longer optional. But is it a brake on innovation or the engine that enables scale?
They explore the four pillars of AI governance and why, in the age of autonomous agents, hope is not a strategy.

AI is everywhere, but the real cost often stays hidden.
In this episode of DevOps Sauna, Pinja and Stefan dive into AI FinOps and explore why GPUs are expensive and why so much AI infrastructure ends up underutilized. They unpack hidden costs like idle hardware, power consumption, networking, and data movement, and explain why traditional Cloud FinOps doesn’t fully apply to AI workloads.
They also discuss how Kubernetes and Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) can help improve GPU utilization, and why visibility, ownership, and organizational maturity matter just as much as tooling.

Internal developer platforms are no longer just technical tooling. In this episode, Pinja and Stefan explore why your internal developer platform should be treated like a customer-facing product.
They discuss user-centric platform design, adoption and shadow platforms, lifecycle management, roadmapping, and continuous improvement. From developer experience and security to cost visibility and business alignment, this episode breaks down what it really means to build and run an IDP that people actually want to use.
If you’re building a platform, build it like you mean it.
