# Monk

> Monk is the autonomous DevOps agent for coding agents. It deploys, operates, and optimizes real production systems on any cloud — so developers and AI coding agents can ship without touching infrastructure.

Monk works with coding agents like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, and Claude Code. It handles the full lifecycle: infrastructure provisioning, deployment, DNS, TLS, databases, monitoring, auto-scaling, and 24/7 autonomous operations.

## Blog

- [All Posts](https://monk.io/blog): News, updates, and insights from the Monk team
- [Monk knows the live state of everything - your application and your infrastructure, at every moment.](https://monk.io/blog/monk-knows-the-live-state-of-everything): Part 3 of 5: a gate is only as good as what it knows. "Don't restart the production database" means nothing unless the layer knows which database is production - and that knowledge is state.
- [Monk isn't just an AI - and that's the point.](https://monk.io/blog/monk-isnt-just-an-ai-and-thats-the-point): Part 2 of 5: No amount of DevOps productivity is worth an AI deleting your production. We wouldn't give an agent direct access to our infrastructure, so we won't ask you to hand over yours. Monk sits between the agent and your infrastructure - a validation layer that runs on facts and logic, and can't hallucinate.
- [Monk is a DevOps agent that does the work for you.](https://monk.io/blog/monk-is-a-devops-agent-that-does-the-work-for-you): Part 1 of 5: what it does, why it doesn't stop at deploy, and how it stays autonomous between your approvals.
- [Pretty please won't stop your agent from deleting production. Here's what will.](https://monk.io/blog/pretty-please-wont-stop-your-agent): PocketOS lost its production database to a single API call in nine seconds. The standard responses — evals, prompts, permission popups — all miss the actual problem. Here's why the fix has to be structural, and what that looks like in Monk.
- [Capsules as audit targets](https://monk.io/blog/capsules-as-audit-targets): AI-generated code is shipping faster than security teams can audit it. Monk capsules turn every git branch into a production-shaped cluster on your own cloud — pinned to a commit, disposable, reproducible. Here's why we think that's interesting for security work, and an open invitation to come break it.
