Building agents is easy now; safely operating 50 at once is the real bottleneck

A Reddit discussion argues that building AI agents is no longer the hard part — demos work and teams ship useful agents. The real complexity begins at deployment: who owns failures, which version is running, can you audit what it did three weeks ago, who can change it and how are changes tracked.
Regular software has organizational answers; agent teams mostly don't yet. The author finds the emerging "agent control plane" — a governance/deployment layer above individual agents — an interesting direction, citing Lyzr's Control Plane as one player, and frames the shift as: the bottleneck is no longer "can we build it?" but "can we safely operate 50 of these at once?" Comments solicit what teams actually use in production.
