One Human, Two AIs: Building an Open-Source Alternative to Azure
· 5 min read
We're building an open-source replacement for Azure's managed services — 30+ services, from databases to AI to authentication — with a team of one human and two AI developers. Every feature starts as a written plan, gets implemented by one Claude Code session, and tested from scratch by another. Here's the workflow that makes it possible.

Right (black terminal): The Tester — has just verified that Backstage API entities show correct Kubernetes annotations, tested in a real browser, and is writing "PASS" results back to talk.md for the contributor to read.
