Automating the SDLC via a Context Layer
Pavan_Belagatti · x · 2026-07-17
The core thesis of this post is that AI is transforming software development and deployment. The true direction isn't just having models "write code," but automating the entire SDLC to reduce manual handoffs between stages.
The author specifically emphasizes that context is critical: without a proper context layer, AI tools and agents are prone to errors, such as accidentally deleting production databases or sending incorrect notifications. Therefore, he recommends using Port as the context layer for agentic SDLCs and mentions that a free trial is available.
