Coding is no longer the constraint: Scaling devex to teams and agents at Spotify
At Spotify, 96% of engineers now code with AI and PR frequency is up 60% — so the constraint has moved from writing code to orchestrating it. Niklas Gustavsson, Chief Architect & VP of Engineering, shares how Spotify built Honk, a background coding agent running on the Agent SDK, plugged it into their Fleetshift migration platform and Backstage software catalog, and learned that the same standardization that makes teams effective makes agents effective too. Walk away with Spotify's bets on developer experience for agents — and why firmer guardrails are accelerators, not constraints.
