David Crawshaw, co-founder of a successful startup, announced exe.dev, a cloud infrastructure platform designed to fix fundamental architectural problems in existing clouds: VM resource bundling, slow remote storage (10x IOPS penalty on SSDs), and prohibitive egress costs (10x vs. traditional datacenters). He positions the platform to serve the emerging AI agent economy, where increased software proliferation will demand better compute abstractions.
