Funny how this is vision now. I started my career 29 years ago at a company that build exactly this, but based on oracle. The agents would run on Solaris, aix, vax vms, hpux, windows nt, iris, etc. Was also used to create an automated cicd pipeline to build all binaries on all these different systems.

Not so much talking about the original post, I think it’s awesome what they are building, and clearly they have learned by observing other things.
