Fix Production Errors While You Sleep
A walkthrough for wiring Sentry into a Hoplite automation. New errors get picked up on a schedule, reproduced with a failing test, and fixed in a pull request you review over coffee. Takes about ten minutes to set up.
Announcing Automations
Agents on a schedule. Describe the work once, pick a cadence, and Hoplite runs it in a fresh sandbox every time, ending in a pull request a human reviews. Available today on every plan.
Introducing Hoplite
Coding agents can finish real work now. The way we run them hasn't caught up: one laptop, one terminal, a human watching a spinner. Hoplite moves agents into isolated cloud sandboxes and makes the pull request the interface. Backed by Y Combinator.
All posts
Choose a coding model using the work your team actually does
Compare coding models on representative tasks, review effort, retries and cost before choosing a default.
MacBook overheating while coding agents run? Check what they started
Identify the processes behind sustained heat, reduce unnecessary local work, or move the agents to cloud sandboxes so the laptop stops running builds.
Coding agents keep running your Mac out of memory. What to check first
Use memory pressure and process ownership to diagnose RAM exhaustion, reduce concurrency, or move the agents' browsers and test workers into cloud sandboxes.
Why your MacBook gets slow when you run several coding agents
Find whether parallel agents are limited by local compute, memory, services, or a remote model, or skip the tuning and give each agent its own cloud sandbox.
Stop parallel coding agents fighting over ports and dev servers
Separate runtime resources as well as branches so parallel coding tasks test the application they actually changed.
How to run parallel coding agents without conflicting changes
Split agent work by dependency and ownership, isolate execution, and verify the combined result before merging.
Using Hoplite to build Hoplite
What our published use of Hoplite says about delegation and a workflow for making agent work reviewable.
Beyond the first Sentry automation: dedupe, prioritize, and verify fixes
Build a bounded error-triage workflow that checks existing work, reproduces failures, and reports uncertainty.
From Slack thread to pull request
Turn a Slack bug report into a bounded coding task, decide which repository it belongs to, and review the result against the original failure.
From Linear issue to tested pull request
Turn a Linear issue into an implementation task with clear acceptance checks, decide what the agent may touch in the tracker, and review the result against the ticket.
What should a cloud coding agent be allowed to access?
Understand Hoplite's source-control boundary, sandbox secrets, tool approvals and the access decisions your team still needs to make.
Verify agent work with tests and a browser
Use a reproducible UI bug to connect regression tests, runtime checks, and review evidence to the same code change.
Keep your Claude Code task moving after you close your laptop
Move the task into a cloud execution environment before your laptop sleeps, with a clear handoff and review plan.
What does a merged agent pull request actually cost?
Measure agent costs across inference, reported compute charges, failed attempts and human review.
How to review AI-generated pull requests without becoming the bottleneck
Ask agents for focused diffs and useful verification, then return feedback precise enough for the agent to act on.
The agent-ready repository checklist: setup, secrets, tests and previews
Configure a repository so an agent can install it, run the app and verify its changes in a fresh Hoplite sandbox.
What to delegate to a coding agent: 12 tasks and ready-to-use briefs
Choose bounded tasks and give the agent acceptance criteria, verification steps and a clear point at which to stop.
Cloud coding agents: from local setup to a tested pull request
Set up a cloud coding-agent workflow that can run your app, verify a change and return a pull request you can review.
