Stakpak is joining Vercel to help develop infrastructure designed for deploying, operating and managing AI agents. Financial terms and the structure of the transaction were not disclosed.
Founded by George Fahmy in 2023, Stakpak was created around the idea that software infrastructure should be able to operate and maintain itself. The company described this vision as “self-driving infrastructure.”
Stakpak initially operated from Egypt with a small team and remained bootstrapped for approximately two years. The company later raised venture capital and expanded its presence to San Francisco.
The startup raised its first funding round in 2024 to advance its self-driving infrastructure technology. Its backers included P1 Ventures, 500 Global and Digital Currency Group, along with several individual supporters.
Stakpak developed an open-source agent harness, a production-ready DevOps agent and agentic security systems. These tools were designed to help AI agents perform infrastructure and software delivery tasks that traditionally require continuous manual work from engineering teams.
A DevOps agent can assist with activities such as deploying code, configuring infrastructure, monitoring systems and responding to operational problems. Agentic infrastructure extends that concept by allowing AI systems to execute multistep workflows and manage portions of the development environment more autonomously.
Stakpak spent approximately two years building and operating agents in production environments. Fahmy said the company introduced features months before similar capabilities became more widely available across the industry.
By joining Vercel, the Stakpak team will apply that experience to a broader platform serving developers and companies building AI applications. The companies share a vision of infrastructure that can increasingly be deployed, optimized and maintained by software agents.
Vercel is expanding beyond its historical focus on frontend application infrastructure. Stakpak views the company as developing a wider agentic infrastructure platform where customers can build and operate their own agents.
That strategy also includes providing the infrastructure on which agents can deploy applications and perform operational work. Stakpak’s technology and production experience are expected to support Vercel’s efforts to make these capabilities available at greater scale.
The move also brings Stakpak’s open-source development work and DevOps expertise into Vercel. Fahmy credited the open-source community with helping Stakpak become a widely used DevOps agent.
Fahmy did not disclose whether Stakpak’s products will remain available independently or be incorporated into Vercel’s existing platform. Additional details about the team’s responsibilities and the integration roadmap were also not announced.
KEY QUOTES:
“I started Stakpak in 2023 believing software should drive itself. We raised our first round in 2024 to make ‘Self-Driving Infrastructure’ possible, and with a small team out of Egypt, we built one of the first open-source agent harnesses, a production-ready DevOps agent, and first-of-a-kind agentic security systems from scratch.”
“Vercel is no longer just the frontend cloud. They’re building the Agentic Infrastructure company, the platform where agents deploy, where you build and run your own agents, and where infrastructure itself is managed by agents.”
“Vercel is making self-driving infrastructure possible at scale. We’re excited to join and help build the best agentic infrastructure in the world.”
“This journey started in Egypt, bootstrapped for two years, before raising venture capital and moving to San Francisco. Grateful to P1 Ventures, 500 Global, Digital Currency Group, Ahmed Saafan, Moataz Soliman, Omar Gabr and Hazem EL Agaty for believing early, and to the open-source community that made Stakpak one of the most popular DevOps agents out there.”
George Fahmy, Founder of Stakpak
