Guillermo Rauch — CEO and founder of Vercel, and creator of Next.js — joins Kirill Gavrylyuk at Azure Cosmos DB Conf 2026 to talk about building a developer cloud for a world where AI agents write and deploy software.
Inside this clip from the keynote:
• “Agent ergonomics” — ease of use for agents as the new design target
• Why serverless compute plus serverless data is the right bet for ephemeral, vibe-coded apps
• Fault isolation and avoiding noisy-neighbor problems at Vercel’s scale
• The economics of a query — what Cosmos DB’s RU model means in a token world
• Growing Vercel’s weekly deployment count 3X in months on Azure Cosmos DB
• Why the engineers of the next decade are radically full-stack
